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

My cat isn't that big, but he is over 12 pounds and it doesn't budge in the least bit. The manufacturer says they use them for their 20 pound cat, so I think you would be fine. The straps have a rubbery back side to them so they grip really well.

Our cat weighs about 17 lbs and he loves it. The rubber gripping side of the velcro strap holds pretty well against the table/chair legs - it hasn't given out under his weight yet about about 6 months of pretty heavy usage.

I have many cats that all weigh different amounts. Up to about 11 or 12, I think. They all love these cat cribs. I find them in them all the time. Hope they work for you.

My cats didn't like it. Their bodies were to big and there wasn't enough space between the seat of the chair and the floor. Neither cat (16 pds . and 18 pds.) liked it.

Hi, I don't have any one cat that large, but my two cats, who each weigh about 9 pounds, have gotten into the hammock together and it held them just fine.

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 just tried ours on our "fat" cat (she's 14lb)--it could work...depending on how long your cat is. The collar part wasn't real snug. But the body fit nicely. She seemed to like it all wrapped around her.

No, not at all. We have 6 very active cats, two of them over 15 lbs. They all scratch and jump up on it and it's never toppled once, even when they are all running around playing together. It's a very sturdy item.

I have one cat who is a big boy, weighs about 19 pounds! He is lying on it right now and fits pretty nicely. A few parts are of him are off to the side, but overall it works.

Hi! My cat is also 10lbs but I don't consider her fat lol! She's a perfect size. Maybe your kitty is a little bigger :) I just used my carrier last week to take my cat to get her nails clipped and it worked perfect for the short ride we needed to take. It's great because the cat can see out on 3 sides. It's perfect for us:)

Well my kitten is 6 lbs and it's fine. My 40 lbs dog can easily stick his head in when playing with the kitten. I would think a 10lbs cat would be great with it. Really Good Product.

I just leave it loose. My older cat weighs 15lbs at the max. I am thinking about using some Velcro to put it together but for now... I haven't seen any issues. Hope this helps.

My best guess is that maybe people do not know the true weight of their pets. Perhaps the person taking the measurement was not measuring accurately, or they are going by a weight that was reported from the past and is no longer correct. My cat was weighed professionally within the past 2 months, and was about 8.5 lbs at the time. She fits in it just fine, and no doubt will for some time to come. However, I cannot imagine it being large enough for an 18 lb kitty. I would estimate that anywhere over 12 lbs would be too big. Also, the three way tunnel that has similar print to this one is a little larger, and more crinkly.... if you want a little more room... definitely my cats favorite! they go great together and both are quality products that I would highly recommend to most owners.

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.

Yes,my cats are 12 & 11 lbs they get along fine in this stroller. I'm very happy with this cause my cats like it.they feel secure while in it and ride really well. Was worth the investment.

Yes, my cats, both fluffy and large use it fine. As long as your cat is nimble, as all but the worst off are, they'll get through!

Yes. I have 3 cats weighing six, ten, and sixteen pounds. All three love it and spend the biggest part of their time playing or sleeping on it.

This machine did not work well for us. Our cat was 18 lbs., but I don't think weight was the issue.

Our cats are about 9 lbs each and we have one for each of them. Does that help?

Once the kittens are large enough to jump in to the opening and weigh enough to trigger the weight sensor, you should be good to go. Only a really large cat that is too big to easily get in and out of the litter box will be problematic. As for litter, Dr. Elsey's Ultra Precious Litter is the best we've ever used. It is unscented, super absorbent, does not stick like clay as some litters do, etc. Strongly recommend this litter based on many years of cat ownership.

I had the same concern, but I think so. My cat's between 16-18 lbs and glides right on through. Cats are mostly all fur aren't they? Haha.
