I wouldn't go any higher than 3 or 4 cubes high. If you use both the connecters and zip ties, it should definitely be sturdy enough for a cat.

How big are the cats? There are also ways of reenforcing the top of the cage to prevent it from sagging in. You can use sturdy dowel rods which run along the underside of the cage and are secured to the top as well as the sides. I think if you use both connectors with zip ties and use dowel rods to make the top more sturdy, it should be fine for the cats. But I'm wondering if the cats will even want to jump on top of the cage? The holes between the grids are quite big and a cat's paw will go right through. I think after a couple of tries they might become discouraged and realize it's not such a great place to hang out.
