A while ago I posted how my kitten had knocked over a vase. Well,
she keeps doing it. Fortunately, it is a sturdy vase and hasn't
broken. Every time I hear it fall over I rush out and yell
at kitty and squirt her. Today she knocked it onto the floor for
the first time but it didn't break. I was so mad! I chased her
around the house hollering "BAD!!!" and gave her a few squirts
to make my point. I hope she learned her lesson this time, though
I doubt it.
She is a Jeckyl/Hyde kitty. Sometimes she is soooooo sweet and
can remain that way all day, then something gets into her and
she goes totally wild. The wildness can last for several hours
before she gets tired and becomes sweet again.

Heheh pull one over on kitty and duct-tape the vase to the table :)
(if you don't have any duct-tape, just ask one of your neighbors, I'm
sure at least one of them has a few extra rolls of duct tape to spare
hehe)

Keep some catnip on hand to calm her when she gets the "wilds".
Try a garden nursery for a fresh plant.

The squirting is good, but I always heard you should do it subtley, so they
don't connect the discipline with you and get wary of you. So keep
squirting her, but maybe don't shout. I think I've heard you shouldn't
shout anyway, just use a very firm "No!"
Best of luck with your little terror, and while I know it's frustrating, try
to have patience, she is only a baby. Maybe keep certain things out of
harms way for awhile, til she gets a little older and mellows a bit.... :)

You might get your kitten a kitten. They can keep each other
occupied and tire each other out. Another cat is the
best cat toy.
