Lilly Vanilly

Austin's cat Lilly has come to live with us now for the last few weeks.  I have never considered myself a cat person (but I didn't dislike them either) but I couldn't let his dad give the cat away (Austin would have been heartbroken).  Anyway, it has taken some time to get used to her and I'm still not sure that I will develop a fondness for her, but I guess time will tell.  I know all of the things I am going to mention are typical cat things, but they drive me crazy. 

1. she weaves in front of my feet
2. she shreds any paper product of any kind that is within her view
3. she knocks everything over (including the floor lamps (see picture below)

4. she attempts to use the litterbox while I am cleaning it out.  I have had to start closing the door.
5. she runs and runs and runs in the middle of the night.

Still when she is laying down, resting, she just looks so sweet.  Austin has nicknamed her Fluffy, while I prefer lilly vanilly (instead of milli vanilli sp?) and kitty rukspin.
