Cute story.
As soon as they headed upstairs, my first thought was, "Goldilocks." When the culprit's hair was found to be black however, I hadn't known who it was. Within a paragraph of Clark behaving toward her in a way that he would not do toward any woman other than Lois, I figured it would have been a dog. That it was a feline did take me by surprise.
So... What did Lois name the cat?
