Does anyone have any experience using this product with cats weighing over 16lbs or 7kilograms?

we have a 16 lbs cat and the crib stayed up for the most part (we think it was more that our chairs weren't the best). The straps are very strong as is the gripping material. One of my parent's cats (who is pretty big, too) prefers for the middle to be on the ground and the sides to be a little higher (almost like a hammock), so I think it's still worthwhile.

My 22lb Maine Coon lays in it all the time, it holds up just fine. However, my cat could never fit in it if it was under a chair, so I have it attached to an end table in my living room. The end table is bigger and it's easy for my cat to get in and out of. All I did was buy some velcrow strips (I bought these ones: C2G / Cables To Go 29856 Velcro Hook and Loop Cable Straps - Bright, 11-Inch, Multi-Color 12Pk ) and extended the ones on the hammock and it fits great, it also stretched out the hammock to fit my cat better.

Yes. I've got an 18 pound cat who lays in this. Just make sure each strap is secure around the legs of the chair. My cats love these!!!

My cat weighs 15# weight really isn't a problem but he was totally disinterested in this crib. He prefers a dining room chair or windowsill. A bit spoiled!

Hi! Both of my cats weigh approximately 16 pounds and it works fine! They love it! I did, however, have to wrap the straps around the legs somewhat differently than the directions.stated so they wouldn't slide down the legs with the weight. But, it does seems to be secure and they are only a few inches off the floor, if that! I highly recommend.

I have a 16 lb cat but she doesn't seem interested in it. My 11 lb cat loves it! And it seems to hold him fine. Not sure what an extra 5 lbs would do.

I have one cat who I would wager weighs at least that and it holds her. She doesn't spend much time in it though - I need to find a chair with the right legs in a sunny spot.

I don't have experience however I believe the product info on the box says up to 25lbs. Also I have a German Shepard dog and my dog plays with my cat while she is in the hammock. Too cute but sturdy for all that activity. It's THEEEE best!!!! Get it!!!

I don't know if a cat would use it as I don't have cats and don't know their behaviors or habits. My dogs and dogs that regularly visit my home are 84 lbs, 78 lbs and 22 lbs and all of them use the dog door that we installed in the wall. We've not had any problems of unwanted critters entering through the door. We've been very pleased with this product.

My cat is appx. 10 pounds, I got the large so he'd be comfortable but it works good for his size. I think the regular may have been too small.

I actually lent this out to my son for a weekend trip to Boston after my house guest left and have not gotten it back yet. Short answer is no first hand experience yet, best guess is after the way we bounced like crazy on it after it was set up there should be no problem. It really is well made IMO. I'm 220 lbs and it didn't budge a bit. Keep the felines, the real cat type, away though. They would love to knead on this thing. Good luck.

I have a cat that is about 10lbs. She likes to go to the very top. If my dogs chase her she'll run up to the top but shaking it. But if your cats just goes up slowly in a way they are not being chased I think it might just work. Sometimes you'll have to screw it tightly once in a while.

this carrier is great and while my cat is overweight, I had no problem. You simply open it up from top which is so much easier. My cat unfortunately outgrew this carrier and had to get a larger one. Good luck

I have a 22pound cat and it works fine for him. I don't know the official weight but hopes this helps.

I have a 10 pound cat and have used carrier to and from veterinarian two times and haven't had any problems. Distance wasn't very far. I would say balance is adequate.

AudreyB, did you purchase this item and find a way to use it with your cat? I also have a very large cat, a Maine Coon that weighs about 22 pounds. I curious to see if you could use this product. Thanks!

Out of the box, I would say no. We had to use a small ratchet strap to keep it from shifting under our largest Siamese (14 lbs fatty). After strapping it, it works fine but as advertised no I would say not. It doesn't shift a huge amount but it's enough to make it unsettling for the cat.

I used this on my cat who weighs 9 pounds as well as a cat that was bigger and had no problem. It fit both of them well and was not too tight. It is a good collar and I think it will work for your kitty. Good luck!

Thank you for your question! Many customers have found success in using this system for their cat. Please know that this collar is recommended for pets weighing at least 8 lbs.

4 lb=5 to .06 ml, 7 lb= 0.8 ml, 11 lb 1.0 ml these should be close and will not hurt if it is not correct this stuff is not real toxic. after doing this go back after 2.5 weeks and repeat that should do it. i did mine with cats but close to same weights you have and also if you go through the reviews ther is a post with all the weights and dosages for cats which can be used for dogs also

I have a 15lbs cat and an 18lbs cat, and both seem to do just fine. The lighter one goes all the way up while the heavier one stays in the middle. This thing is perfect for us because it provides high ground and a scratching post without taking up much room. One thing to be aware of is that my cats really love scratching it, and the soft material only holds up for about 6 months. Next time I order this I am going to wrap the lowest portion in rope. I hope that helps.

I have two 3 yr old cats who are quite large.. 14-16 lbs, and this litter was great for them. Definitely not just for kittens! There was NO odor for the entire week we used it! This is definitely worth a try, I think you'll love it!

No, my cat only weighed 12 lbs. She hated it and was so miserable I took it off her and used the collar that the vet supplied. She seemed to tolerate that better. Good luck with your cat.

I had no trouble with our 16 lb cat. In my opinion the wheels are more robust than the wheels on some of my luggage. Tutto sells this same case as a steno case, or scrapbooking case. Either, when fully packed, can easily exceed twenty pounds.
