Are the shelves (platforms) large enough for a full-grown cat to lay on?

Yes. Mine does and he's not a small cat. There isn't much room to spare. Paws will hang over. But he will just perch on the top two shelves to check things out.

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.

My cat's are fully grown and lay on it all the time. My mother-law's cat wouldn't climb it. One of my cat's is very small and the other is average, but there seems to be extra room even when he lays on it. They can lay meatloaf style on the 2nd shelf from the top together...

Hello Shelli..... I don't know if anyone has converted the bookshelf into a cat tower, but the construction is all wood and very substantial..... Depending on how many cats you have, I'd think the bookshelf would be an excellent cat tower..... Regards, Jim

Absolutely. My 20 lb cat adores this. He can't use most condos because the shelves aren't climb able for him. He can climb and sleep inside this.

the shelf is definitely sturdy and i think a 13 pound cat would fit but there would be no room to spare for sure. Not much moving around without falling off the ledge.

My cat is about 15 pounds and often lays (upright) on the second platform, though it might be a bit small if he was sprawled out. The top level should definitely be plenty for her curled up (it is for my cat). It's a good, sturdy tree.

I don't think that would work very well. There is 13" between shelves, and as the shelves go up each one is 2" narrower than the one below it. I don't think that would give a cat enough room to climb up. I could be wrong, however. We have three cats and none has ever tried it.

Yes. I've got an 18 pound cat who lays in this. Just make sure each strap is secure around the legs of the chair. My cats love these!!!

My cat is 12 pounds (she is a Norwegian Forest cat mix) and she fits in all the cubbies and on the platforms without a problem. Her favorite napping place is the upper cubbie.

Not really sure but I have had 2 - 7lb cats on the same shelf! If that helps you.

I think it would be excellent because the platforms are spaced well for jumping. Kitties wouldn't need claws to get up on out and enjoy the perches.

I have long haired cat, about 15lbs, and its enough room for him to sit but he never lays down on it. He likes to stretch out and wouldn't fit on any of the platforms.

Well I have a very large cat as well and he is very pleased to curl up in the perches. The sides are cushy and flexible. Also the little house is plenty big for him.

It is large enough--- if they are reasonably friendly. Our cat prefers the the highest level to sleep but there is room for 2 @ 10 lbs.

I'm not sure the weight of my cats, but they are large adult cats, probably around 10 pounds, and they fit on there fine. They don't lay on the platforms but they do hop up there to sit and play.

I had a cat for 24 years she would have made one of the shelves hers , and I would have let her , I think it would be fine . The shelf is beautiful I'm displaying my Chrystal on it , and I get a lot of complements about it . Good luck with your decision !

The sisal scratching posts are tight but I'm not sure the top platform is either stable enough or big enough for a 13# kitty. My cat only weighs about 7#'s. Her favorite place is the top platform bed and sometimes she sits on the top of the enclosed area.LCO

Top shelf too small for many cats to use for napping (flat surface 9"x16")Middle (11"x14") and bottom (11"x19") shelves are larger but only 6"-8" clearance between them means most adult cats will not be able to stand up.
