Some reviews claim the opening to the house is too narrow for big cats. Anyone know the diameter ? My cat is 17 lbs , want to be sure he can fit.

The box in the middle of the picture is not that big and the opening is pretty small. The opening from the steps to the box is also small. My 10 pd cat fits but doesn't stay in there. He likes the 2nd tier from the top. I think the limit to the cat tree would be 10 pounds for a cat. JMO.

He can curl up on the upper flat pieces but not the house. My boy is 16 lbs and only can use the tops, or under the house. It fits my 5lb cat much better

I forgot to add, the ladder leads up to a tiny opening in front of the house, my 16lb cat also can not use this.

I have one really rather husky cat "fat". And he can fit in the bigger house relatively well...the big house is 12x14x14 and the the bigger shelf sections on the lower areas are 14x20 and the 3 upper shelves are about14x14. This thing really is massive and could easily entertain 4 cats... My two are crazy about it...the material is good quality.

No! It is hardly big enough for me and my cat and I weigh like under 100 lbs! It's pretty and I like it, but if I were you I'd keep looking! Sorry for the bad news! :(

Weight is not the factor here; girth is. The door is seven inches by seven inches. Get a cardboard box big enough for your cat and cut a seven by seven inch hole in one end. If he can (easily) get out, you may have a winner. You could do the same with a "pet carrier" by duck taping a heavy piece of cardboard over the door with a seven by seven inch hole in. My guess; you need to move up to doggie doors.

I would get the largest size. I thought the medium would be ok for my 20lb cat but it was too small. It's a well made bed but the medium was definitely too small for a 20lb cat.

I agree too small I also have a 17lb cat. he enjoys the scratching aspect but that is all.

I own the large and I have two 10 lb cats and and an 8lb cat. They are able to get in and out easily and honestly the large doesn't take up much room. Just wanna say that this thing is a godsend, highly recommend it. I'd assume your cat will fit through the regular and should be enough room but if you're worried the large will definitely suffice.

You might need a bigger door than this one. It's pretty small. I have one slender cat & one regular size, but neither are close to 20 lbs.

I would worry more about the width of your cat. My cats are around 12 lbs and use it with no trouble. They are fairly slim on their body shape. A rounder cat might have more trouble. Check the dimensions of the door. You could make a practice cut out and see if you can slide it over your cat! I really like the door. It is sturdy and well made.

I recently bought this one. Looking at pictures of the Jumbo, it looks much wider. I have a 15lb large cat, and this model fits him perfectly.

I have the large ones-- it was a little tight for 13-14 lb cat but he could turn around in large one. I have a 7 lb cat and the large one was great size for him. He had plenty of room.

My cat, Gray tabby, is tall and weighs 12lbs. He has room to turn around and plenty of width. He does' t move that much in it. I think he enjoys looking out the 'Windows' and also feels secure. Hope this comment helps you.

I bought this for our cats that are 11-12 pounds and they really love it and fit in happily. I would say that for a big cat (large cat, or 14+ pounds) it's going to be a bit tighter though.

I would think that a 20 pound adult cat could easily get through the door and fit inside this just fine. The opening is 11 inches high and it's the same width at the bottom. It tapers to about 7 inches at the top but is still wide enough all the way up. I would think even a small dog could fit in it just fine. It's a really nice design and even folds flat if you need to pack or store it. I would highly recommend it!

Yes it would be too small. We have a large cat (approx. 20 lbs.) and it is kind of small even for him.

It would be too small. My cat is 11lb and it's too small for him now! Go with the next size up!

Hi, My hubbies cat weighs about 14lbs and it fit him very snug. So I think this might be too tight. Hope this helps.
