Have a total of 7 cats! I am concerned about it getting toppled over. Is there a way to fasten down to wall or ceiling?

Hi, If you have a hardwood floor to put this on, it should be pretty sturdy but for 7 cats? I dont know, I have a kitten that is about 5-6 lbs and it is more than sturdy enough for her. You cold tie a rope around the scratching posts and tie that to the wall to anchor it...the posts are wide and sturdy enough to use them to tie to an object.I hope this helped you.

I have 3 cats running up and down it all the time and there is not problem. It is very stable. I do have 1 side of it sitting up against the wall. You could get a couple of straps from the home improvement store and wrap them around the upper posts then attach to the wall. I dont think u will have a problem. It is well made and very stable.

I have three cats one is about 13lbs. No problem with stability. You could use metal angle brackets to fasten to wall in a couple of places. I think the large flat areas were made of plywood so you probably would need to use 'T-nuts' to fasten to wall.

I keep my against a wall or in a corner (two walls). I also made sure I had an 'L' shaped base. For a while I had a large 'infinity' shaped scratching post thing that was heavy and I place it inside like a ramp. If your joints are loose, a little electrician's tape can help, or make a joint frozen. Consider also a heavy weight on the base frame for a week or two 'til the cat forgets about knocking it over. Hope this helps.

I mounted mine to the wall. Make sure to center it on a stud and pay attention to what way the shelves go so you don't get to close to sockets or anything else the kitties shouldn't be playing with. Predrill all your holes and use 3 inch lag bolts. It is easier to mount with two people but doable with one if you have something (books, boxes, ect.) to hold it off the floor while you put in the top lag bolt. One of the customer pictures has a good shot of where to place the bolts.

I did try but the legs are too far apart on an end table. I have one of those tall cat trees and I attatched mine to the bottom of it had to have help from 4 large safety pins and one cat lays in it he is black and you cant even see him when he is in it. Im not really happy with the product.

No it will not fall over. It would be great for kittens but my middle aged cats ignore it.

Two cats could get on top, but because it is very light, I would stablize by having it against a wall or something solid to keep it in place when they jump up.

Our 15ish pound min pin/dachshund mix climbed into it and jumped out of it, and it hardly moved. I would say that you're safe. We have ours in a corner, but they have enough room to climb up the wall side of it where the perches are placed. We have 3 5ish pound cats, and it never moves. VERY sturdy. I think you'd be safe.

It seems pretty sturdy. Not sure what happens if the cat runs and jumps on it full speed. I put it next to a window/wall though. No topple over with 4 of my cats so far.

I would not use two... although you probably could use the parts from two of them to combine them into a taller model... the support springs would be destroyed when the cat jumps on it from the side, or mid-levels. (But I have multiple cats, and for what it is- it does hold up well. I just have to replace it about twice a year.) Another idea would be to raise the base section, maybe a shorter, sturdy table.. that you can make into a cat house or chill spot!!! Funn! :)

I am using it for drapes (to keep from adding hardware in my apartment) it holds the weight well enough once you get it secured... But the cat has managed to pull it down via the drapes.

You need something to hold it down otherwise it will tip over. If you move it indoors you could always lay something over the frame to keep it from moving such as cat litter bags etc

My cat just stands entirely on top of it, or braces his back legs against it so it doesn't slide. You could probably try putting something heavy inside or one of those non-slip mats for rugs underneath it!

Depends on the window. I can't fully close mine, but I can see where it would be possible. 2 hooks hang on the window sill, 2 supports rest on the wall, held inplace just by weight. Still its very sturdy. 2 cats sit on it very comfortably. Should work with 7 inch sill.

You just set it on the deck or grass. I've had two cats in mine and they don't tip it over. It may move a little, but it is secure. The way the metal parts go together hold it in place. I don't use mine anymore since the cats prefer to move around more. I have better luck tying them out, of course they get tangled easily so I need to be out there with them.

I highly recommend you use the wall anchor provided. It is taller than most cabinets and narrow, so there is a risk of tipping over.

I prop it up against the wall and it doesn't move around as much. My cats love it!

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.
