If your cat tree wobbles when your heavier cat jumps on it, it can present a safety hazard that needs immediate attention.
- Check for loose joints or parts and tighten them.
- Consider placing the cat tree against a wall for added stability.
- Replace the cat tree with a more suitable one designed for larger cats.
A wobbling cat tree can make your cat hesitant, which is understandably worrying. Cats need to feel secure when jumping or climbing, and an unstable surface can lead to injury. In your situation, repositioning the cat tree or opting for a more robust model designed for heavier cats might be necessary to ensure her safety and your peace of mind.
