I have cats. How sturdy is the lid on this if they were to get up there? Thanks!

I wouldn't suggest it. There are 4 panels (2 per side) that create the top panels. The two far outside panels can lift, separate from the middle panels and the clamps that hold the top down are not sturdy enough to hold weight above it. If you placed a thin plywood panel on top of the cage, it might hold a cat. It's a great cage though! VERY spacious!!

My cats have, one at a time, rested on the lid with no problems. The lid is sturdy enough to support a twelve pound resting cat.

I have two cats and I think it's pretty sturdy. They actually don't lay on the top but have caught them and it held up. On the lid there are a couple of hooks that go into the cage if you want. So if your cats do sit on it the lid won't fall in.

It is not sturdy enough to have cats climbing on it. I have a cat too, but I keep him out of that room for that exact reason.

The lid rests on top of (and locks onto) the sidewalls of the cage. I've set five pound bags of food on top while I clean each side and it had no issue supporting that.

I also have two cats and I had to fold half of the lid back so the cats can adventure in the cage because they knocked it off the table once by jumping on it. As far as sturdiness goes, I would say 3/10 & it would not hold the weight of the cat. Mine around both around the 10-13lb range though.

It is a loose lid. However, I bought it for the same reason, and the cats don't come near it.

It is pretty deep. I use clumping cat litter, similar to sand I believe and The only way it gets out is the cats kicking it out. Lid does snap on securely

Very sturdy. It goes together tight and doesn't wobble. The cats don't seem to as impressed with the ramps as I was but its still a great buy!

We're using it ffor a young kitten right now. My husband built lid for it so the kitten can't climb out. BUT it would work I think!

It's pretty sturdy. I have a very energetic cat that runs into it quite often, and it's never fallen over.

It is! But I would not recommend this product. The lid does not latch on to the bottom easily, when the cat jump out, it often knock the lid off.

This one is not easily knocked over. I have 6 cats + 8 kittens and quite a few of them like to paw at the water. It would take all their might to push this thing, but the base is so wide and heavy (ceramic) that I don 't think they could ever tip it.

There are strong bungee cords that hold the lid tight. We have "wild cats" and so far no problems.

Yes, it is quite sturdy and big enough for two cats to sit on, if they wish. Two could also cuddle inside, if they wish. I only wish that my cats would go inside it. Not sure that they have!

It is sturdy, but may be hard for a big main coon to get up on. I also have a 2o lb MC and he doesent go up it. Maybe if I would put a chair against he would. It should hold your cat,but would put a chair up. I have bought 5 of thse all different and found I like this one the best has a good square platform an more spave for them to sit. Don't buy any others,this is a good one.The perches are bigger.

Very sturdy. It's got a metal frame. Should be fine for your cat to lay on.

I have a couple of 14 lb cats and two very active yearlings. They seem to do very well on the tree, it's sturdy and they love it. I also have a nearly blind cat who I have had to rescue a couple of times from the top of the cat tree. He likes the climb too.

The lid is extremely secure, it actually has bungie latches on either end that secure it to the base unit. Unless your cats have thumbs, I don't see how they could get in :)

I have cats that weight and heavier and there's plenty of room for them inside. The locks look like they might be flimsy, but they are actually very sturdy. I've never had a problem with them. This is a good carrier.

It is very sturdy, I actually climbed on it myself. It may not sit as solid on carpet though. You can always put it against a wall if there is a big concern. We have it on lanolium flooring and it does not move even with the cats running into it or climbing on it.

I have had no problem with the 2 I have. One of my cats is 30 pounds, & because of his size, I have put a round cushion in the top rest so he doesn't hang over the hard edges of the circle. I am very happy with these units & I can't imagine having anything more sturdy.
