Even though it's been said, I have to agree.. everything you have said here doesn't sound abnormal or strange or "overly" wild for any average kitten. Nutmeg was able to jump from the floor to the near the top of my sliding glass doors (about 5 feet or more) at four months. She ruined a curtain rod (bent it) by grabbing the curtains and bending the rod. She chewed my cell phone charger ($50 purchase). She spilled my pens all over my floor and scattered homework everywhere, and chewed up papers.

Tilly would keep me awake at night by chewing my toes while I was sleeping, and she was six months when I got her - not even a baby kitten.

Bassett would climb clothes in the closet to get to the top shelf, and then howl because she couldn't get down. Bassett also jumped onto a dresser and knocked over a 19in TV and broke it; it now makes a strange humming sound and there is a line across the screen.

I now cannot have any plants or flowers in my house, because they are eaten/destroyed. I can't leave any boxes/towels/laundry on the floor because they get peed on. I had to get new blinds because the ripped up a black out blind in my room. My guest room boxspring is a mess with claw marks.

What did I do? Chalked it up to being a cat mom. I'm not critisizing you at ALL, just answering your question (the "what would you do" one). I agree with Jen here - I think you need to get an older, laid back cat and not a kitten. The behaviour you described is normal kitten behaviour and it would come (most likely) with any kitten. If you have to take it back, please do, but don't make Cinnamon live in the bathroom anymore She's lonely and sad in there.. imagine how you might feel if you had to live in only one room ALL the time without ever getting out! Good luck.. I hope it all works out for the best for you guys
