Can it handle a 25lb. cat?

Our Ragdoll is 17lb and as Tjasa below said it does wobble a little as he gets up on the top but stable after that. Yes there might be a problem with fitting through the openings and also just getting down from the top platform to the one below as there is not much room. Can i suggest you email the manufacturer at CustomerService@RefinedKind.com They are very friendly and respond very quickly

I just put 3 of our cats on it and made them play with mice. 14+16+7lb. The top of the tower sways a bit, which doesn't bother us, but it may bother you. Also if you have a huge 25lb. cat you should note that openings on shelves are just under 9" wide and 10.5" high. Our Maine coon and Ragdoll fit through fine, but not sure a 25lb. cat would... Our big cats are not full grown yet, I suppose I could report back in 2 years :)

It can def. handle a 25lb cat. But at the top it does shake a bit- The unit itself is very sturdy though so other than a slight shake, it will not topple over or anything.

Yes, I am 99.9% sure it can, and the openings to get through should be fine. It is a nice tower for them. I had a 25lb. cat own me (grin) that would have been fine on it if things had been better for him. My current owner (cat) is on it a lot, but the scratching post part isn't as appealing as I thought.If you are considering a high end purchase for them, if you haven't looked into it, look into the Litter Robot...it'll be good for all of you. Be well, and I hope that helped.

it can hold the weight, but tipping over may be a problem, depending on how your cat jumps on it, I think. It's pretty strong, but if your cat takes a running jump at it, or jumps on it from the side with a lot of momentum (or jumps on the top shelf from the side, rather than one of the bottom ones), he might tip it over.

I have two long cats, heaviest one is 17#, the other probably 14. They rarely go in the cubby and use the platforms only as a means to get to the big curved top lair. They fight for position on it and it hasn't broken or fallen yet. Eventually I got two of them, so they'd stop fighting. Didn't work, they now fight over both of them. But they do hold up and look very nice. They use the long scratching post quite a bit as it is tall and they can stretch and scratch. Thanks to whomever put up the info about where to purchase new pads for the item. Guessing these will last as long as my cats. I have two long cats, heaviest one is 17#, the other probably 14.

Yes, more than one. I have two 25 lb cats & an 18 lb cat and they all play on it and sleep on it together.

I believe so, we have a 16lb cat and he's up there all day. The materials are sturdy. Just make sure you tighten every screw to the max.

This is the most beautiful cat condo I've ever seen, but there is some sacrifice to what meets the eye. The top ("Observation Deck") would easily hold a heavy cat. The mid-section platforms, maybe not so much. My cat is just 7 pounds (he does a lot of yoga) and while they hold him well enough, after a while they get loose and the middle shelf actually just fell off one day (remember, jumping down a level or two can double the weight burden). All in all the tower is very sturdy, though, and you could easily reinforce it if need be. Nothing better looking for the money anyway. I agree with Mr. Noble on the Litter-Robot. I'm on my second unit and would have nothing else.

We used it for two 41/2lbs kittens. And they had plenty of room. I'd say a cat weighing around 8-10 pounds should be fine.

My cat is 7lbs and it works great for her. She did break on of the branches off the first day she had it (and was smaller then). It is pretty sturdy but I don't know if it would be good for a 15 lb cat. It is over 6 ft tall if completely assembled.

The inside litter pan is not extremely large, so in my opinion, it will probably not accommodate a cat weighing 20 plus pounds. My five cats range from about 8 to 12 pounds and I had problems with urine getting outside the pan and onto the floor. I have since quit using this box and bought a liter robot, which is excellent.

I have 4 cats all between 10-16 lbs. It is not sturdy at all. I have a 40lb sand bag laying on the base to hold if in place. I would recommend spending a little more on a larger unit with a wider base.

It would - I have a 20lb cat and a 24lb dog and they use it with no problems. It is a great cat flap - super happy with it :)

I'd say this would support a normal-sized house cat. Anything more than 20lbs I'm not sure... but this is fairly sturdy for what it's worth. You could always put braces in on the underside. Or place spikes on top to make sure the cat doesn't get on it. Whatever's clever. Cheers!

I think it would be tight. I got it for my cats. The biggest one is 14 lbs and he has alot of room. Probably nothing over 25lbs would work.

Mine are 25 pound dogs, so I'm not sure about your cat. It says it takes up to 40 lbs or something. the height is listed on Amazon, but it reaches an average couch.

yes it would handle your cat, my is 10 lbs. and he is a big cat and he gives it a good work out it is built tough and the poles are great for those sharp

No, this is really only for one cat. My cat is about 20lbs and even he was a little big for it.

Yes. My cat is 12 pounds & jumps on it. She doesn't jump to the top level though.

It states in the description that it will accommodate up to 18lbs. I have a large cat 15 lb and he does very well on this

I would say not. My cat is 14 pounds and cannot fit in this bed. The "roof" is flimsy and collapses.

I have a 22pound cat and it works fine for him. I don't know the official weight but hopes this helps.

I don't think it would hold a 20 lb cat. I bought it for a 9 lb dog and it's great. I also have a 23 lb cat and I wouldn't use it for him. Hope this helps!

I believe so. I can't remember the load limit in the description but I had a 15lb. cat, a 9 lb. cat, and room for 1 more. I don't think you will have a problem.Sue.
