i am considering buying this for my cat to climb on instead of putting up wall shelves. he s about 15 lbs, would this support his weight?

I believe it should, I have well over 15 pounds of books on it now, and it has not fallen yet.

No, I don't believe this will support your cat's weight for climbing. The book case leans against the wall and can become wobbly if moved slightly. It isn't made for animals and climbing animals at that. I have a lamp on mine and when bumped into, the bookshelf can knock the lamp off of it.

Yes, it should support his weight fine as long as it's on carpet, i think. There are also screws to attach the shelf to the wall, so you should have no trouble on hardwood using those additional screws.

My cat is about 15 lbs. and she gets up on the top pedestal everyday without problem. It wobbles just a little but very sturdy. I often do a check to tighten the screws. My cat and guest cats love it.

I would say no. It couldn't support my 10 pound cats without falling apart or my cats falling off.

Yes, it is very sturdy. I had to send the ones I purchased because my cats would not go in them. I have two cat weighing 15 &18 lbs and the carriers were not big enough for them. I loved the carriers but my cats did not. The carrier would be wonderful for smaller pets

Is your cat very heavy? I have baskets of CD's, a Bose sound system and lots of books on my shelves, and everything seems secure. I think that it's more stable because it leans against the wall. I doubt that it would be moved by a cat.

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 would say Yes but it may be a little tight on room. Both of our cats are 13 pounds each. It holds one with no problem, and weight wise, it will hold both easily, but not a lot of room to turn around.

My cats don't weigh that much, but the window perch is very sturdy. It will defininatly hold him. It is very well made and my cats love it! Hope that helps.

Only if the cats don't knock them off getting up and down. Plus the entire thing sways a bit when they jump up. You'd have to watch first where they usually launch themselves on the shelves to get up and then reversing that getting down. Might be better to put a small shelf on the wall by it for food with a slight lip so they don't knock the stuff off.

It might! (it could be a "stretch" though, ha ha!) My 13 lb cat loves it, but he pretty much fills it up. If you get it, make sure you use the screws to mount it. I would recommend that for any cat, but especially a 16-pounder. And as I recall, product it rated for up to 20 lb cat. Also, we got the one without the bolster, which I would imagine has more room than the one with.

My babies weigh in at eight and twelve pounds, but I would think this tree would work for you. My cats spend a lot of time on it and I have not noticed any problems. The posts are fairly thick and the connections are solid. The design is structurally sound, with only one of the lower sitting areas not vertically supported. Armakat says this will support 60 lbs.

Only if you lean it against something. This is what I have done, but since my cat won't use it, I am uncertain if this would be secure, and stay put, though my cat is pretty large, and heavy. This might work for a smaller,lighter cat.

I think so. The perch has two very sturdy support legs that brace against the wall underneath the window. That is what holds the perch on. I checked Google for reviews and cat guardians said their larger cats had no difficulty. Our cats are 13 lbs and 10 lbs.

I have three cats one is about 13lbs. No problem with stability. You could use metal angle brackets to fasten to wall in a couple of places. I think the large flat areas were made of plywood so you probably would need to use 'T-nuts' to fasten to wall.

I'm not sure but my cat is 12 lbs and it opens on that due to flaw in construction. I'm sure it can't hold that much more weight.

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

I feel that it is pretty secure. My cat is about 15 lbs. and it doesn't fall over.
