I have two cats and one is very large (~15 lbs). Will the larger one be able to play on and scratch at this tree?

I have 4 cats (only 1 over 15 lbs) and they use this as part of a large grouping of cat condos. As another reviewer said, find some bracing, as it's a bit wobbly. Also, mine too has gotten quite a bit of wear of the legs. I'll be rewrapping those with new twine. Otherwise your cat should like it fine

I have a large cat too (15lbs) and she is able to fit comfortably inside the cat condo and she enjoys the scratching post (one side is very shredded). This is large enough for bigger kitties but if your cat is prone to leaping on and off the top of the condos I recommend that you position the condo against a wall as it is not super sturdy. It is not something I consider a big deal, just something to keep in mind. That being said, for the price you cannot beat this condo, I shopped around quite a bit. Assembly was easy enough. Just rub some catnip on it and you're good to go. Hope this helps.

This was a gift so I do not know. I can say that the person I gave it to has two cats and one loves it an uses it more then the other one although the other one does use it as well.

My cats LOVED this. They always use the scratch posts. They did rip the ball off already but that's expected : ). We put catnip all over it and they really love it then! I would recommend this, much, much better deal than I have ever found in the pet stores.

One of my cats is 7 lbs and she goes all over including the hole/house. I also have a cat around 17 lbs and he loves it too. He gets around all over expect inside the hole/house. I got this tree specifically for my bigger cat because it has wider spaces for him to sit and play.

My cats can jump up the levels of the tree without using their claws. They only use their claws to scratch the posts. Hope this helps. It is a nice car tree.

I have a 15 lb cat and a 13 lb cat that have used this product and it has held up pretty well. They have both used the house and each fits without problem. They are also on the tree at the same time and no problem. To clean, we simply use a vacuum cleaner to lift the hair and dirt particles.

Maine Coons are big cats, it might be too small for them. All my cats fight over the top layer, however, my 3 cats LOVE this cat tree!! It was a great investment!! It was easy to put together. The only downfall was the pom poms didn't survive too long..lol..

This is pretty thin so I don't think that it would hold up to use on a cat scratcher. I replaced the sisal on my cat tree by just buying a roll of sisal at the hardware store and winding it around the post in the same way the original was. It works pretty well and is a cheap and easy fix. Hope this helps!

Yes, if your cat is small to average sized. I have a small adult cat who loves it, and a very large adult cat who uses the scratch posts, but isn't a fan of climbing. He might fit, but he's never tried to lay down up there.

Absolutely. My cats are about 10/15 lbs each and they have loved this cat condo for years. In fact, they spend most of their time on the very top, which almost looks too small to hold them, but it's not and they love it.

Unfortunately my cat is a rescue and he was declawed. He does use the top and crawls into the bottom. He is 15 lbs.

We have 2 cats and have had no problems at all. The unit weighs a ton so there is no way they can get under it. However, if they are scratchers you might be concerned about the screens as they go all the way to the floor.

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.

I have a 15lbs cat and an 18lbs cat, and both seem to do just fine. The lighter one goes all the way up while the heavier one stays in the middle. This thing is perfect for us because it provides high ground and a scratching post without taking up much room. One thing to be aware of is that my cats really love scratching it, and the soft material only holds up for about 6 months. Next time I order this I am going to wrap the lowest portion in rope. I hope that helps.

Probably not, my cat is only 10 pounds and curled up tight he barely fits in the bottom one. He spends most of his time in the top one and still hangs over the edges a bit. This is a good, well constructed cat tree for a smaller 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 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.

Claws or no claws I don't see it being an issue. When my cats are chasing each other and one darts up the tree, momentum's getting her up there. Also, the tree has tiers so the cats can jump from one base to the other. Keep in mind, if a cat wants to get somewhere they will make it happen, claws or no claws:) If you're too hesitant you could always email the company or call a vet, but I think you would be fine.

It would work for a 15 lb cat but it may not last long. Got one when I first got to kittens it was great. About a yr later my kittens now grown to 12-13lb cats were too much and the upper tree area broke. Not enough support. As the cat runs up the tree it will bend the top part and with their weight eventually break . My cats have there front claws as well and shredded this thing in about a yr. I would say if u have a cat with claws spend a little more and get a cat tree that is sturdier and all the legs wrapped with that rope. Just my thought
