No, I won't think so. It is rather an unstable cat tree....our cat won't jump to the top because it's so wobbly.Not a good choice for a bigger, heavier cat.

I love mine..we keep it at the foot of our bed,my husband sits on it to take his boots off,hes over 200lbs..seems sturdy to me! Im worried my cats will claw it though. Hope this helps!

My mom's 15 lb cat used it daily. I am not sure he went on the very top but it held up nicely. He was a rangy cat that was hard on everything else and broke lots of stuff around her house. So yes it should be fine assembled properly.

I also have two cats and I had to fold half of the lid back so the cats can adventure in the cage because they knocked it off the table once by jumping on it. As far as sturdiness goes, I would say 3/10 & it would not hold the weight of the cat. Mine around both around the 10-13lb range though.

My cat that uses it is 10 pounds and very active on it now. It does wiggle some when she jumps on the top but it doesn't seem to bother her or else she has gotten used to it. It has never even come close to actually tipping over...and she's plays on it very agressively! She sleeps on the top bed now, runs through the hole on the high level, plays with both of the hanging ball toys and scratches the poles wrapped in rope everyday.

It is sturdy. My 12 lb ragdoll uses the steps but not the top bed area anymore. When he stretches he has fallen out of it a couple of times so he does not go in the bed. I have seen a mega cat tree but the price is too high. He looks out my family room window and watches the birds and squirrels from the step are. Hope this helps.

Yes it should be fine with a 25 LB cat. I carry my two Shih Tzus in it and between them they are about that weight. I haven't had any problem with the stitching so far but I don't think the frame and wheels would stand up to rough surfaces. It's fine on sidewalks and paved roads.

My cat is about 14 pounds. The upper perches rock when he stands or moves on them, but there's no indication that the structure is unstable. The bottom part of the tree is very stable. I think the bigger issue is that my cat (who's not as heavy, but is very long and tall) barely fits on the perches, can only sit on top of the first cat condo because I've moved the stairs, and never ventures into the condos because they're simply too small. He uses the tree all the time, but it's slightly difficult for him to use it for napping.

It is very sturdy. I have two kittens and they fight over the top perch and sometimes even share it. They both love it.

This is a very durable crate and feel your 20 pound cat will be comfortable and the feel the crate will hold the weight.

That is a good question, I put the heavier cats on the bottom, any where from 10 to 17 lbs and the lighter ones on top........I would think you could go 20 lbs, it is really quite durable and strong, wondeful for Vet trips and just walks...hope that helps a little....have fun....

It is surprisingly sturdy. My dog is 9lbs. My cat is anout 10lbs or more and I would feel comfortable using it for her as well.

I bought it for my cat and he weighs 17 lbs, I think 20 pound dog would be ok.

The top is very sturdy. Just make sure you put it it together properly and securely. I love mine.

Your assumption is correct. A definite design flaw. My cats access the top by leaping from a nearby chair or other tall object. Once there they love napping on the top three perches. Very sturdy design so no risk of it tipping over.

I have had no problem with the 2 I have. One of my cats is 30 pounds, & because of his size, I have put a round cushion in the top rest so he doesn't hang over the hard edges of the circle. I am very happy with these units & I can't imagine having anything more sturdy.
