I have a 16 lb (sometimes 18lb) cat. Would this support him jumping on and off of it or would it fall over?

It would hold him... The jumping up & down will hold him. My cat did not like it as it was not a firm cat stand to sleep on.

It seems like it would be sturdy enough, but I'm not sure if it would be big enough. We have a 13 lb cat and it fits him about right, but he doesn't have much extra space.

my cat never uses it, but maybe if i does you could weigh it in the whole at the bottom

I have a 22 lb cat and as long as it's on carpet or on a small rug, it won't fall over. He climbs and jumps on it all the time. I've had 2 cats snuggle on it before as well. I also have the little cat 'tree' next to a wall in case it falls over, but it's never hit the wall. Hope this helps!

Yes. I have a 13 lb cat and it supports him without a problem. If you're concerned about it tipping over, it can be bolted to the wall. I do not have either one of my cat trees (I have 2) bolted to the wall and it's never tipped over. It's very sturdy.

16 pounds is pretty heavy- it might trip the sensor on top that detects when roomba is heading for a spot that it too low-slung for it. Put the cat on a diet so it can have a better ride.

I have mine up against a wall and when my Maine Coon leaps across the room onto it, it does wobble slightly on the top platforms, but it clearly isn't going anywhere. We bought this one in response to the same problem with our old one wobbling way too much. The upper two platforms could stand to be bigger, but because of the rim around the edge, our cat sleeps up there all the time. The house is very large and so are the lower platforms. Our cat is only around 14 of 15 pounds at this point as she isn't a year old yet, but I have no concern about it lasting when she is full grown.

I believe so, we have a 16lb cat and he's up there all day. The materials are sturdy. Just make sure you tighten every screw to the max.

I'd say this would support a normal-sized house cat. Anything more than 20lbs I'm not sure... but this is fairly sturdy for what it's worth. You could always put braces in on the underside. Or place spikes on top to make sure the cat doesn't get on it. Whatever's clever. Cheers!

Yes, the perch will hold your cat just fine...my cat is 13 pounds and he jumps on it all the time....I couldn't be happier with it . And my cat loves using it.

Hi, my cat is a smallish 8-lb. Siamese. He fits just fine, and I think your cat would too, but he might not have a lot of room to turn around. I had it on a wood floor, and my husband moved it to a room with carpeting, which makes it more stable. It's not wobbly, but it does have a little give to it. My cat likes it. Good luck!

It depends on how nimble your cat is. I have 2 larger cats (15 or so pounds), and they have not jumped it.

I don't think it would be a good idea, the weight of the cat continuously jumping up would eventually cause friction and loosen up.

It is very study i have a 20 pound cat and he jumps on it and jumps off of it. He doesnt bend the wire or knock it off of the 30 gallon tank.

Not while either of my 2 cats were in it, but they do occasionally slide and need to be re-positioned. My one cat is pretty heavy (14 lbs) and jumps up onto it, so don't think this would happen with a lighter cat or if the perch is situated low enough for the cat to just walk onto it. Both my cats love this perch!!

Very likely..it doesn't have a secure top. My cats knock it over. U have to have it perfectly level for it to stay well. It's fallen down a few times but hasn't broken. It's beautiful and very well made.

The two supports slide in and lock. It takes some force to slide it forward to lock, once there locked into position they will not come out. Then I used screws to attach it to the window sill. Our cat is a big cat cat around 16lbs and jumps from other furniture onto it and it supports all of the force and weight of him jumping onto it and it has not failed. Our cat loves it, uses it all the time, we love it too.

I have never had any problems with it tipping over, but I have cats. If it is free standing as opposed to having one end against a wall and the rabbit tried to get into it on the high end, maybe it would tip over...but if the rabbit uses the proper (lower) side to enter it, it should be pretty stable.

My puppy (6 lbs) was able to collapse it and tip it over to escape, so I would say your cat could do the same.

I think it said up to 25lbs. My cat weighs 16, and it held her up just fine.
