scratching on the cat tree.

Lilian figured out that there is more 

interesting to climb than to just

scratch on the cat tree.

The cat tree was taken down to prevent

kittens from falling down and getting hurt.

Some kittens decided to sleep on it and

some (Lilian) decided that it was still okay

to play even though it is laying down.
