Is it true this only weighs 22 pounds? It seems that would make it too flimsy for our large cat.

It is very durable for the weight. We have several large cats who tear around on this tree and race up and down. It is very solid.

I don't know about the 22 lbs, but it's heavy. It does swing a bit when my cats jump on it, but granted I have 8 cats (yes 8 LOL), so at any given time, there are usually 2-4 cats on this. But it's never tried to fall over. In my opinion, it's quite sturdy. And I have 4 kittens (part of the 8 cats) who are very active on this as well.

My cat is 22 pounds and I have used this carrier many times for him with no problems.

Not at all! It is a very good quality, sturdy and very well made. Of course, if you put something super heavy in it I am not sure how it will handle it. But I can tell you it holds our cat without any problem and she is 14 Lbs :)

I agree with the previous post. My cat is 8lbs and he jumped on top. While the mesh of course gave the structure itself stood firm. I'm sure there's a threshold but I would say a normal sized cat (mine being closer to the smaller side of that spectrum) on top won't collapse it. I think it would be great for pet intros!

Twenty pounds is a large cat, yet, I say this will work. I like the product. I don't think it would be comfortable for hour after hour, however. Good carrier though. Good luck. CC

My cats are both about 16 pounds and it works fine for them. It will rock a bit when they jump from the floor all the way to the top pedestal but so far it has not tipped over.

I think it would be. I have a 22 pound cat. Think is getting him to use it.

Yes, have a cat that weighs 13 lbs and it holds her and my other cat (10lbs) together just fine.

I have several cats who are pretty big cats - one that weighs 25 pounds. It is a VERY STURDY cat tree. I have had all three spaces occupied at the same time with no problem - even with the 25 pound cat.

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.

Yes and no. We have a bigger cat as well, he likes to jump and throw himself around on this cat tree. We noticed it was wobbly when we first go it so we ended up wiring it to the wall so it would be safe for him and wouldn't knock it over.

It might not be big enough for a heavier cat. The opening works fine but I don't think mine are more than ten pounds. Unless the cat is just large/ long.

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 :)

That is a big cat. Our cat weighed 17 pounds but since then has lost one or two pounds but fits through the opening. At 20 pounds it might be a tight fit.

Fine, our one cat is very large, he is a barn cat and weighes about 15#, he could not stand up since is is pretty tall, it did not matter, he was comfortable looking out the sides, he could still more around pretty easy. I would get the large to be on the safe side, I did.

I use it for a 9 pound cat, so I can't even guess about a 22 pound beagle. Sorry.

Not sure how heavy the maximum weight is, but our cat was 15 pounds at one point and the carrier didn't seem strained.
