Will my 8.5lb and 16lb cat be able to fit inside the hole? Is this a good tree for cats that size? They are just normal house cats.

I believe your cats will fit inside. My cat is very long and is able to curl up to nap with plenty of room left for another cat if we had one. The hole is plenty big enough for a cat larger than mine to fit through.

I would think both cats could fit in the hole, separately that is. It is 7" in diameter.

Maybe the 8lb cat but not the 16lb one. My cat is 5 and this is his first house that we know of. In order for him to use the hole we had to put treats in it otherwise he could care less about it. He usually jumps to the 2nd and 3rd level. Thr third he barely fits on and he's about 10lbs give or take.

My cat is only 8 months old so she does not weigh as much as your cats..however its pretty nice size inside i think they should be fine just be sure to have it in a corner due to the sizes of your cats jumping up it my cause it to Rick but..my cat booms all over it crazy not once had it fell over..i recommend this even if the larger car can't fit..there are many levels for he/she to lounge on

Our cat is 8 lbs and she fits just fine- although she hardly ever goes in there. I don't think sure the 16 lb would fit. The whole is about 7" across. Our cat will go on the first and second levels but the third level is a little wobbly for her.

I can't imagine that. The hole is a constant diameter....so what goes in must come out unless there is some other obstruction...but this hole is smooth sided inside. My two cats stick their heads in there and don't have a problem. Best

Don't get the small. The bottom leg holes were too small for my 8-10 lb shitzu's hind legs to fit through. You might be okay with a medium since cat's hind legs are more flexible than a dog's. Once their leg is through the hole it will be fine. I just couldn't get my dog's legs through the bottom holes.

No, I won't think so. It is rather an unstable cat tree....our cat won't jump to the top because it's so wobbly.Not a good choice for a bigger, heavier cat.

Not unless it's a tiny kitten, the largest hole is probably 4-5" diagonally. I have two cats and they don't even attempt sticking their heads through. I use it between my sofa and stairwell railing to keep them from falling over it. Also on a side note, it's great for seasonal decorating...you can run lights through the top holes. I have orange lights for Halloween, and white lights with a fake pine needles (wreath stuff?) for Christmas.

Hi Kim, I (and my cat) love this perch. What kind of sill do you have...wood or ceramic? How narrow are you talking about? If it's wood, I would highly suggest that you use the screw option for the sill....it works very well and with the wall supports underneath the perch, plus the screws, it holds very well for my cat who is about 14 pounds. And if you move the sill, the holes can easily be filled with wood putty and stained, so no worries there, or if they are painted sills, again just filled and painted...again, no problem. I hope this helps. -Mark

There is a "door type" of opening on the bottom that is about 5 inches in width at the bottom. The largest circular openings are about 4 to 4 and a half inches in diameter. My cat is an 8 pounder. She actually has never gone inside of the tree, but it has been the absolutely best scratching post we could find. Don't know if the failure to go inside is due to size or not. She does not in general go hiding at all - so it may be a temperament issue, but dont really know

The top will easily hold a large cat. The bottom is smaller so is better suited for smaller but it really depends on the cat. If a bigger cat really wants in the smaller cubby it could manage to use it. My cat is a large breed and loves everything about this tree. I would buy again without hesitation! Hope this has helped you

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.

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.

Plenty of room in that compartment and others for a large cat. Our biggest is 19.7 and he has no problem with space. Also, we've had the cat tree for apx 18 months and it's still in good shape despite being used by all six of our kitties. They like it a lot.

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.

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!

The hole is 5 1/2 inches in diameter. My cat is 12 pounds; he can go through the hole, but has trouble because there is nothing for him to step on and get up through the hole. The top bed is slightly small for our cat; one of his legs always sticks out. Overall, the quality is good and my cat likes scratching the post and watching birds in our backyard from the top.

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 have a 13lb and a 10lb cat. It holds either of them but they rarely use the boxes. They prefer the top tiers and each if them fits with ample room. Had the cat tree over a year and it's suffered abuse from 2 cats, a 2-3yr old and a dog and is just now becoming wobbly.
