2 bike rack for small apartment

I've completed my move, and my current apartment comes with a bike locker (which only fits one bike, so my roadbike is in my apartment right now) instead of attached indoor storage like my old one. I'd like to have both bicycles in the apartment eventually. I've been looking at bicycle racks on Amazon, does anyone have one they'd recommend?

My requirements:
1. I have an old, fat, and stupid cat. I need a rack that won't tip over easily and smoosh him if he decides he likes it better than the superluxe cat tree I bought him.
2. Minimal wall damage. It's an old apartment, and I don't want to get electrocuted drilling into the wall.
3. Small footprint. The apartment was made in the 60s, and I think the designers were hitting the vitamin Q something fierce when they made it. Despite having more sq ft than my old apartment, it has less usable floor space.
4. My budget is about $100. I could be persuaded to spend more, especially because I'd like to have it double as an ersatz repair stand.

Here's some links to racks I've been looking at.
