Calm down Kirsten - and stop thinking of re-homing Lily.

Being an active kitty and about one year old it's normal for her to have her moments. Enjoy them because when she gets older she will be more quiet (although Lily or an Aby will always be more active than a Persian ).

I am sure she does two things: first running around, jumping being active -which is fun for her;
second: condition her meowmie.

Respond to the first one by playing with her as much as you can when she's in the mood, and respond to the second in ignoring unwanted behavior. These little devils know exactly how to get you somewhere: Tigris moves a picture at the wall which is one meter high and has very heavy frame. It's one of the few things that get us up in the middle of the night because for various reasons I wouldn't want it to fall down and that's why he does it.

So you see I am a bad teacher in ignoring unwanted behavior. But all this talking to you means she wants to tell you something like: "More entertainment please!" "I bet I can get you to do what I want." etc.
