Ah, bless! I remember when my Katykat used to cause havoc in the house - shinning up the curtains, charging around the house, knocking everything over, and chasing my 18 yr old Red Siamese up the olive tree. She would rip any paper left around into shreds. Now, aged 15, she is blind and sticks close by me and will only go outside when I do.
Enjoy the kitten age for as long as you can, Bea, even if it means disruption, as it does not last for ever....
