Question 1

Will this be sturdy enough for a 20 lb Maine Coon cat?

Accepted Answer

I have a 15lb Maine Coon mix, and 15lb unknown mix, They are both 2 years old and very playful, they love this tree and the perches! My Main Coon mix is too large to fit inside the top cubby hole, and the perches are kind of a small space for him, but when he curls up (as he is want to do!) he has no issues! The only problem for our boys is them wrestling over the highest perch whilst on the tree. As in, they fight while up there to try and knock the other off. After a few months of this we have had to tighten up the screws a bit because they were getting wobbly. However the base is plenty sturdy and my cats love this tree! Honestly for this price you cannot beat it, other trees I've seen this size (and some even less sturdy) go for about $200.

Question 2

Mine keeps coming loose...any suggestions on keeping it together Mr.Odd loves his tree!

Accepted Answer

If its a threaded bolt, nut or stud coming loose:
Blue loctite on all the threads if you ever plan on disassembling it.  
Red loctite if you NEVER plan on disassembling it.
Or some other sort of thread locker, those are the only ones I have used.
Put a dab of it on the male end around the circumference of the bolt or stud (or read the directions).

Question 3

My cat is a long kitty, possibly a Maine Coon but only weighs 10#, will the box be big enough to fit him comfortably?

Accepted Answer

oh yeah definitely, the one on the bottom is decent sized, my 22lb cat fits in that one comfortably, the one up top is a little smaller, my other cat weighs about 11 and she sleeps in there

Question 4

how do you get your cat to play on this tree? I have had it for about a week and my cat has been avoiding it. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

There are lots of great suggestions here, using food or catnip to entice, adding your smell to it, and so on. Using your dirty T shirt that your cat has slept on puts both your smell and the cats smell on the tree.
 I also have a couple more ideas  to add. I use a wand toy to rev up the cat, then I drag the toy up the tree. The cat gives chase and ends up on the tree. I repeat that often. 
To improve the attractiveness of the tree, I put it near a window in the living room where the cat can easily look out the window or look down at me when I am home. Finally, I suggest offering a reward each time the cat uses/ scratches the tree. The cat associates the tree with the reward. If my cats want something, they scratch the tree. Then I figure out what they need. (pets? play? food?) One time cat A scratched the tree frantically because cat B was trapped in a closet. I came over, and cat A led me to the closet.
