I think Mammalaria is a good possibility. The pin cushion cactus. I had one very similar and when it was about as tall as yours it just flopped over sideways. I have no idea why. It could have been something normal or not. There was a couple side branches on it so I propagated those side branches and got rid of the rest. Hopefully yours will stay upright and as beautiful as it is now.

Yeah mine did that too but I have a stick holding it up and some wire wrapped around it. Thank you!

I have mine entered as Mammilaria - mixed variety. Yours is about 10x as tall as mine but they look identical.
