Will this be sturdy enough for a 20 lb Maine Coon cat?

It will not be sturdy enough without support. The ramps will certainly need to be reinforced for a cat that heavy. They are only attached in the middle, so they turn if they step on the side of them. Also, putting it up against a wall can help. As our cats grow, we will add reinforcing nails and bracing. In my opinion, it is still well worth the money.

I just looked at a photo, if your cat is overweight probably not, they are huge! I have never seen one before! Like I said mainly because it's 6 feet tall.

Our 16 lb cat has climbed all over it with no problems. He even fits in the lower apartment.

Yes it is very sturdy when both my cats are in it is could still hold a few more. Your cat is only 5 lbs more than my biggest so I wouldn't see a problem. The top house is smaller than bottom but my big cat still sits in it with his back side hanging out

It may be a tight fit, my 15 pound cat sleeps on the ledges but hangs over the edges. If he runs and jumps up on it it wobbles a bit but I think that part would be solved if it was on a hard surface rather than carpet.

I'm not sure about 20 pounds, mainly because it's 6 feet tall. You might try somebody else on the forum that has a 20 pound cat . One of my cats is large 13LBs. The only downside I believe is the thickness of carpet, I love it, it's great for both my cats! You know now that I think about it , they both go on there at the same time & between the two they weigh more than 20 pounds, so it might work.

It is sturdy, but may be hard for a big main coon to get up on. I also have a 2o lb MC and he doesent go up it. Maybe if I would put a chair against he would. It should hold your cat,but would put a chair up. I have bought 5 of thse all different and found I like this one the best has a good square platform an more spave for them to sit. Don't buy any others,this is a good one.The perches are bigger.

I'm afraid that I'd have to say 'no', I don't think it would safely hold a 20 lb. cat.

If my 5 pound dog didn't fit, I highly doubt your 20 pound cat will. It's well made and he wouldn't scratch through it.

Just hopped out of my chair and looked at the Cat Crib hanging underneath. Yes, I'd say that if you don't hang the kitty hammock too high (and provide plenty of vertical space for the cat to get in and get comfortable), a Maine Coon Cat should fit. Our 18-pound dachshund has taken to cuddling up in our Cat Crib, so I wouldn't think a large cat should be an issue.

It's pretty sturdy. On the box it states it's recommended for pets between 10-20 pounds.

Yes, I believe it will be fine. We have 2 cats that are about 15 pounds each. They often play on it together, usually on the top 2 levels.We haven't had a problem with it wobbling a lot or falling over.

My cat is around 10 pounds and there is pleny of room to spare. As long as your cat isn't more than 20 lbs I think it will be fine.

Yes. I have a 13 lb cat and it supports him without a problem. If you're concerned about it tipping over, it can be bolted to the wall. I do not have either one of my cat trees (I have 2) bolted to the wall and it's never tipped over. It's very sturdy.

I think it is sturdy enough but, I think the perches are a little small for an 18 lb. cat ! Dave M

Yes. But, it's not heavy enough to support the cats weight. Maybe if you could place similar height items on with side that would keep it in place. It's very lightweight.

It would definitely be large enough for the dog you described. My 20 pound cat fits in with a purr pad and numerous toys. It is the most sturdy carrier I've ever had, and I've been hauling cats back-and-forth to the vet for 20 years. You will most likely lose a fingernail or two while assembling, but it's well worth 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!

Definitely sturdy enough for cats. If it can handle a wiggly baby it can also handle a cat.

It seems like it would be sturdy enough, but I'm not sure if it would be big enough. We have a 13 lb cat and it fits him about right, but he doesn't have much extra space.

Gayle, my 13+ pound Norwegian Forest cat loves the top shelf! She fills the shelf, and yes it is sturdy enough! I keep the tree bungalow such that one side is always against the wall; it is not in the middle of the room. Besides, this tree bungalow is so heavy that once it is put together, it stays put! I hope this helps! Your cat will really like this tree bungalow, especially the built-in scratching posts and the feather toy accessories! The height is a very good height for cats; they can get a good view of the room from their vantage point at the top.

I believe so. the tower has many levels. your cat could go to the lowest level to get up and down. 12 lbs WoW Is it a Maine coon cat?

I think it would be. My 20 lb. dog uses it and doesn't move it...he doesn't bat at it like some cats do but I still think it's heavy enough that a cat wouldn't easily move it around.
