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

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.

My guy is 8 lbs, but I don't believe another few pounds would make a difference. Charlie likes to run through the hallway and then launch himself onto the cat stand and then launch himself off and it does not topple over. There are better cat stands out there, but for the price I believe it is a wonderful deal.

I have 2 cats (11lbs & 14lbs (a "little overweight for his frame." Neither of them stretch out on any level of it, but the y both always fight to see who can curl up in or sit on the top tier. I may even order another one for a second window to replace the cat tree I bought from another company. This one is MUCH sturdier! Good luck!

Hi, I respectfully disagree that this particular model is large enough for an 18 lb. cat. I mentioned in my review that I had a previous (much larger) tunnel and when I ordered this one I didn't think about the diameter of it. My 12 pound kitty wants so badly to play in it but is just too big. I would go up to a larger size (depending on the size of your cat). Hope this helps. Good luck!

It's pretty sturdy for our 13 lb cat :) as long your cats don't go up and down like crazy on it. It only wobbles VERY slighty when my cat is hyper going up. I hope this answer helps :)

Our very active cat is just under 15 pounds. He doesn't use it as much as I hoped he would. I have never seen him climb into the cave at the bottom. He does bat the ball round and we added one from his old smaller play station. I have noticed the Trixie casta cat tree wobble a bit. It is in my dining room and I am sorry that I bought it. My cat likes super balls, fake mice, and simple toys like string and tissue paper!

if you are asking if larger cats could use this, then the answer is yes. i have many cats that weigh all different sizes the larges is around 8kg. they all play, sleep and jump on this and there is no problem, even my little dog hopes on the botton one to sleep. i hope this helps. Jenny

I have three cats two of which are over 15lbs, the two big ones, they don't even try to go in the box. There are two boxes, the larger one is lower, I have a 12lb kitty that goes in the higher, smaller box. So your big fat cat may not go in the box but I would bet the little kitty would really like. My cats are large and so I have a few small curling dumbells, 2&3 lbs, on the bottom for extra weight. It might not need it, but sometimes my middle size cat runs up so fast it shakes I think any cat will like it.

Out cat is about 12lbs and he had a little trouble. He'd end up playing with the tent instead of using it for what it was intended for. Now we have it sitting up so he can just play in it. It probably depends on the cat though. Ours loves it as a play tent.

My cat is about 10#. He takes up most of the carrier. He cannot stand up in it. He likes to nap it it so it must be comfortable for him.

It might be a tight fit, my tiny 8lb cat fits great, but it took my 14lb cat longer to get used to. She has a bit of room and can turn around in it, but I think she would be unhappy if she gained more than a few pounds, lol.

My cat is almost 12 lbs we just got him the med -lg. Size. The best thing is to measure your cat. Jackson Galaxy website might be helpful and Youtube.

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.

I would buy the size that is right for your cat's weight ... if he is 13lbs or more, consider the Large ... if he is really big (like 20lbs+), consider a Dog size Small ...

Agree with answer below. My cat (about a 13 pound tabby, age 6) will go from the lower level to the top and settle in for a nap or bird watching. (The lower level is also a popular nap place.) As posted previously, this was the BEST purchase and is such a quality product. And best of all, made in the good ol' USA!

My cat is 18 pounds. This wasn't quite big enough for my kitty. I would get a larger cat box for your cat. If he is able to climb and jump a bit (not arthritis) get a storage bin and use that. Works better than any commercial litter box. There is enough room and the high sides keep litter from scattering.

I found this size XL good for my smaller cat. My cat that is longer and taller really needs a bigger size for comfort. Although on a short drive to vet or something it would work. Just be aware, if you let at cat stick it's head out of the carrier, that usually means the cat will escape the carrier. It's their nature and they are magican like that way.

My cat is 13.5 lbs and he enjoys laying on the top section. Mine is sturdy, I bought another one after liking the first one.
