Is there a fairly good "weight" to the base? Cats like to put their paws on vertical objects, lol.

I would say yes --plus the column is narrow enough that it wouldn't invite leaning on it.

Yes,it's pretty heavy but,not top heavy.I don't think a cat could knock it over.

It has a solid feel to it. Should not be a problem with most cats, unless yours is a heavyweight and/or athlete :-)

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.

My cat probably weighs 9 lbs. If your dogs are cozy together, then it should work okay. My cat loves it.

Two cats could get on top, but because it is very light, I would stablize by having it against a wall or something solid to keep it in place when they jump up.

Yes a cat can tip it over. I have not found an way to easily add weight to the base. We just keep ours near a corner so if it gets pushed hard it is most likely to hit a wall. Our cat only pushes it over once every other month. She tips it all the time to shake food out of it. But that seems to entertain her enough to keep her comming back and only tipping out two or three pieces at a time.

The base is not SOLID in the sense of the bottom being heavy and filled with material. BUT, it is solid in the sense of it doesn't tip over easily, it stays put when you touch it, etc. I've got cats and even they haven't knocked it over. I'm enjoying my lamp, stylish and useful.

I can't quite honestly say, my fatter cat is about 14lbs and it holds him up no problem. Apply the laws of physics though, the higher the structure the wider your base needs to be or else it will tip over.

It is very sturdy. It might be a little top heavy, but I don't think a cat can push it over. BTW my ratties love it.

No. Only 7 lb cats can be weighted on it. LOL Of course you can weight a dog on it.

It certainly is....I have three cats that regularly compete for the top spot. In aggregate they weight approximately 32 lbs. Very sturdy unit.

Definitely NOT. This cat tree can with stand ALOT! my cat is maincoon & turkish. He's a HUGE ball of furr! & he weighs about 15-17lbs. & he absolutely loves his house. Although my cat is much heavier than yours and that's probably why the posts fell off & I've had it for about 2 years now & they just broke off when I moved a bunch. I would recommend this cat house to anyone! My sister also has one and she had three cats with hers and they were heavy cats too. It is a big tree though just warning. Just real tall & it will NOT tip!! Hope it helps ;)

My cats are all 10-17 pounds and they could all use the basket. It bent a bit under the weight, but you can leave it or bend it back. I had no issues with it breaking or anything like that. They would also sometimes jump into it instead of climbing in and it withstood that too.

It seems pretty sturdy. Not sure what happens if the cat runs and jumps on it full speed. I put it next to a window/wall though. No topple over with 4 of my cats so far.

I have one cat who I would wager weighs at least that and it holds her. She doesn't spend much time in it though - I need to find a chair with the right legs in a sunny spot.

My two cats have never been able to break in. (And one has thumbs!) The most I've seen is one stick his hand up the chute and shake out a couple pieces. They've also never been able to topple the thing. The base is pretty wide, and I had mine against a wall, so it would've taken a lot of effort to get it all the way over.

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

I would think it is sturdy enough for the cats. Its a little top heavy so maybe add a couple of posts along the side so dogs wont tip it over. I like it overall.
