Does it tip over when I medium sized cat jumps on it? My cat is around 6-8 pounds and I really want to get something big enough for her to lay on

We have this cat tree and 2 Siberian forest cats who both run and attack this thing when they are playing. They swing and hang on it all the time. It's been really solid and comfortable for them to lay on. I definitely recommend this product.

No! It is hardly big enough for me and my cat and I weigh like under 100 lbs! It's pretty and I like it, but if I were you I'd keep looking! Sorry for the bad news! :(

Yes, I believe it will be fine. We have 2 cats that are about 15 pounds each. They often play on it together, usually on the top 2 levels.We haven't had a problem with it wobbling a lot or falling over.

I find it cushiony enough when I press on it. It has something in it kinda spongey; it's not flat. I went out and put my 12 pound cat on it but she didn't lay down...but just eyeballing it there's plenty of room looking at her and imagining her curled up. My other cats sleeping it are 10 and 11 pounds. The inside of the bed measures 12" so any overflow would be up against or on the rim a bit. I think it's fine.

I have the tan/navy blue one with the house on the second level and only one perch. The base is rectangular. My one-yr old male is now about 12lbs or so and he hangs off the perch when he sleeps on it. When he throws himself at it and jumps up the poles (like a tree) it does wobble a little. I would imagine that if your 2 big kitties were playing on it it would wobble. I would say either place it against a wall for support or look for one of the models with a very large base. If they are calm cats and just climb up slowly to sleep on it it probably wouldn't move but my guy lunges at it.

It's a little less stable when completely folded to 7", especially in areas where the floor is not 100% level. Mine won't fall over by itself, but a good-sized cat launching off of it would probably knock it down.

we have it on carpet, it is very sturdy and could not tip. We put it away every so often and bring it back out so kitty doesnt get bored with it.

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 :)

Yeah but you need a place to caddy it in the corner to be safe. It's tall so it could be top heavy. My cat is maybe eight pounds or so. He loves it. It's like 4.5 feet tall. Never had an issue with it being wobbly. :)

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.

It totally won't break, but your cat might not feel super secure. My guy is probably only 9.5 lbs, and there's no shaking at all when he sits on it or jumps around, but I can tell the top level makes him a bit nervous...even when he does go up there, it seems like it feels wobbly to him.

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.

Noooo! It will shake and probably tip over. I also have a large cat,at her last weigh in she was in excess of 12 pounds. The tree constantly shakes and now she just uses it at the bottom for a scratch post

No. This slides around (not crazy but scoots around) when my cat plays with it and she is 13lbs. It doesn't flip over. I keep it more towards a corner and that helps. We have hard wood floors and it hasn't scratched them.

Unfortunately yes. I purchased this for my rescue group. If this was just a scratching post I would recommend it, but as we all know cats love to jump. The first time one of my rescues jumped up onto it, it fell right over, and he wasn't one of my biggest ones, only 11 pounds. As a scratching post only it's okay and is high, but if you cat like most enjoys being up high not only will this tip over the surface is slick. I actually bought at the same time the seat cushion that went on top of it. All 4 of the tiny Velcro tabs that held the cushion to the wood piece fell off within a week. Even more dangerous the only thing that keeps the cushion with the plastic piece seat on the top are two tiny, very flexible, plastic tabs that look like what you would use to hold a picture in place. I would suggest something else I tried to save it by using stronger glue, adding weight to the bottom, and nothing worked. And frankly for the outrageous amount of money they want for this and the seat I shouldn't have had to fix it. How this passed safety testing is beyond me, frankly I'm sending in a complaint for the safety trial records to be checked- it's that dangerous. Hope that helps, ~Beth, 'Running A'Muck to the Recue!' founder.

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.

We bought this when we first rescued our cat and he only weighed 8 pounds. He had no problems cimbing on it and laying on the top perch. He has since "filled out" to 12 pounds. He can still climb to the top but it is a little trickier. Sometimes the tower has almost toppled over when he jumps on it. If your cat is 3 pounds heavier this might not be the best one for him...
