My cat is a large and in charge 13 year old male who for whatever reasons (and I'm so glad!) is just as frisky as a kitten some days! He runs and jumps and rolls around on this tree and it holds his weight and size better than any other cat tree that I've had. It matches nothing in my living room but the cat has grown so attached to it that I know I'm stuck with it for the duration. He can sleep on the perches and its extra soft and plush for bigger kitties like him. Other cat trees are thin scratchy carpet and always wobbly - not this one. It is highly superior and I would recommend it to any cat owner.
