I have a very aggressive kitten who needs play other than chewing on me. He's about 1 lb. now. Will this hold up to him as he grows?

Although this item is made of cardboard, it is constructed very well. I believe that it will last for quite a while because of the inner support pieces. My cat is six years old and this has become her new favorite toy. She pushes it all over the room and it seems to keep her occupied for a lot longer than I expected.

Congrats on your little bundle of fur and teeth! The Cat Amazing should hold up pretty well. Our cat has a propensity for avant-garde cardboard sculpting, but has been relatively gentle on the CA box. He does jump on it, push it around, bat at it, and performs the occasional barrel roll across it, but it has held up well. He is watching me as I type, so I'll say he's a trim 12 pounds, give or take three or four. As long as the box stay dry and your kitten doesn't use power tools, you should get plenty of use from it. When ours wears out, I'll recycle it and buy another.

Our cat is older (eleven years) but he also bats it around, flips it, claws it and stands on it. It looks like new. Very tough cardboard.

My cat is about 7 or 8 lbs and about 7 years old. She gets pretty aggressive with this toy and it still looks just like new after 2 months.

I believe so! My kitten, Morgan, weighs 6.7 lbs. & he isn't crushing it when he plays with this toy. I do believe ALL cat toys are only entertaining to kittens under 7-8 months old. The assembly of this toy is easier than it looks once you get it.

I have an 11-year old, 26-pound, clawless cat and he does just fine with it. He can even squeeze himself into the smaller box! (He hasn't been on the top 3 perches, however--he's too big for them).

Pretty much. My cat is 18 months and has had it 3 months. She has grown to big, bored with it, and tore it up within 24 hours of receiving it. I repaired it several times and we both have given up on it.

We have an 18 pound cat. Tight fit on the top. Of course he makes himself fit. Other two levels are larger. Doesn't move when he jumps on it so it's sturdy.

Yes, it will hold up! I had it out for a couple of weeks before we moved from Colorado to Texas so my cats would be used to it, and they used it as a play tunnel running in and out and over it.

I'm pretty sure it would be okay against kitten claws. I used this with my yorkie when she was a tiny baby almost 3 years ago. She has accidents in this a few times and it was very easy to clean the bottom as it's mad of a plastic cloth material. I just got a kitten my self last Sunday (she's 9 weeks old today.) I ordered the plastic play pen. It's a little more expensive $40 and you also have to buy the top piece to it if you're kitten is already climbing. The top is another $19-20. I'll let you know if I like that one better than this one.

Yes this toy is very very sturdy but to be honest, I have 3 cats and they were fine with it when they first got it but now....nothing! It's one of those type toys where you have to manually push the ball (s) around in order to even get the cats remotely interested but they've all lost interest. Hope this helps!

I have a 15lb male maine coon and a 7lb maine coon mix kitten and they go nuts on this thing, running & jumping, tackling, etc.... it hasnt moved. Although my boy did manage to rip the ramp just by cautiously stepping on it as soon as I put this together. I'm returning that for a new piece later tonight. Our kit came with all balls, no soft toys =(

I think you would be pushing it if your cat is very active. My kitten is only 7 lbs and it can wobble some if shes on the edge of it. The house would be a tight fit also but some cats like small places. Mine loves to stretch out so she hasnt been in it much. Hope this helps. I guess you could nail it to the floor and would have no problems per husband. lol.

It's a pretty tough fabric. Unless he's actually clawing at it or digging on it it should be fine. It's hard to answer this question except to say I think it will be fine. I have a 90lb rottie that has been using it for over 2 years. She doesn't claw at it or mess with it though. I also put an old comforter I had on it. A dog certainly could destroy this though if it wanted to, but it's not going to happen by accident.

Hi Michelle. No it is not just for kittens. We bought ours for our 2yr old tuxedo. She is 9lbs and loves it! About six months ago we added another cat to our family. They both enjoy it and it's held up pretty well. We've had the tree for 1yr. Cats are now 3yrs old 9lbs and 10mos 7lbs. Both are lively and use the tree often for climbing, sleeping, jumping and running.

I have only used for my kitty once as she gets traumatized when we have to car travel and she did seem a bit calmer. She does have a biting habit, but as long as I give her plenty of chewable toys she is satisfied. Her favorite chew article is cardboard, but depending on the age of your kitten I might not give that to him. Sometimes cats never grow out of chewing, such as the case with my adopted kitty, but they just need something to chew on other than your hands. Hopefully it works out with your kitty.

I would never underestimate the will of a cat- but I would suspect this would hold pretty well, its a wide cut of velcro and the angle of the pull would make it more difficult. My cat was under 10 lbs when I was using it- so there is that- but he was a very excitable maine coon- so thats gotta count for something:)

It's not carpet so it's not as sturdy but I only use this condo for my kittens under 3 mo so their little claws don't really pull up the fabric. They actually prefer to scratch the rope and not the fabric. If my older cats used this post and scratched the fabric then I doubt it would hold up long. It works great as a kitten post. We've had ours over 6 mo with constant kitten use (we're fosters) and despite the screws coming loose a few times, and the dangly toys only lasting a day...we're happy with it considering the price :)

It's just a plastic spring and your cat pretty much just plays with it. (Of course if he/she is interested in it.) My older cat plays with it for a little while, while the kitten could care less about it. They're not heavy, but they are kind of durable. I would just go to Petco or somewhere just to buy one or two. Ten might be too much, but they were inexpensive for a cat toy so I bought it. My cats prefer mouses that jingle or a ball. I may just use a ornaments on my xmas tree. :)

I have 3 big kittys about 20 lbs each and they love this tree. I had a problem with the toys on a string they came right off but it is durable enough that they play rough on it. I clean it with regular soap and water and sometimes a carpet cleaner and a sponge

It will hold a small kitten. Just be sure to zip tie the corners tightly. So little paws do not get stuck
