I have 4 young “teenage” male cats and they are all about 10 pounds and very active. My girlfriend and I are moving into a new (larger) apartment in a couple weeks. Currently we have a 6 foot Frisco Cat Tree with wide base that is very sturdy and has held up well to frequent use for almost a year. Right now the cat tree is up against a wall in our living room, but not in a corner so three of the four sides are not supported by a wall. My question is, would it potentially be safe to place the cat tree in the middle of the room with no supporting wall? Like I said, the base is very large and wide and right now we notice no tipping to moving. It’s also very heavy. The only reason I ask is because our new apartment layout will be a very open concept with the living, dining, and kitchen area all essentially connected as one large space. The “middle” area between the living room and kitchen is going to be wide open but we lose an interior wall that we have now. So we need to strategically place all the various cat objects. We have two larger cat scratching posts as well and those tip over more easily so we want those against a wall but we would have to choose between the cat tree and scratching posts being supported by some kind of wall.
