How to stabilize pvc in a wye joint?

MY girlfriend is using a 10' piece of 4 PVC to make a cat tree. About half way up, we put a wye joint in to make a shelf. The post will be fixed to the floor and ceiling. The problem is that the post flexes back and forth at the wye joint. I used silicone, but it didn't help the movement. Is there some kind of expanding caulk I could use? Any other ideas on how to keep it stable?

Answer:

I'm guessing that you haven't installed it yet? When you attach it firmly to both the floor and ceiling, it should become very stable. I don't think that you'll have to add any structure. (Unless she has a really big cat...)
