Just an update. No, my friend is not going to let the cat out or let it breed. She will pay to have it neutered. She just wondered how expensive it was so she can budget for it. And I don't think she realised the full costs of getting the cat. I suppose, gone are the days when it didn't cost much for most pets...... now there are jabs, microchipping, neutering, insurance etc. Worth it to have a pet that you love, but quite a big commitment I think.
You should do what I do. We have a 'visiting' cat which lives in the house behind ours. She came over the fence for a visit 9 years ago as a wee kitten and has been coming every day ever since. It suits her owner, as she is a childminder and the cat comes to ours to escape for a wee bit of peace and quiet. We love her to bits, the kids have been able to learn how to be gentle with animals, and I don't have to feed her or clean out her litter tray! She brings me presents of mice or birds every now and again, but her owner says she has never had a gift from her! Personally I would put a collar and bell on her, but as she isn't my cat, I can't do that.

there was lonely Ragdoll that used to visit my Mum but she couldn't seem to grasp the concept/benefits of having a `free pet' & chased it away:( -daft really as then she had to look into mousetraps!

Has the kitten had a shock of some sort. This is exactly how my adult cat acting after jumping on the gas cooker when it was lit. Running round, not letting us touch her and weeing all over. Took her to vets, she was not burnt but he sedated her and when that wore off she was fine and back to normal.

That isnt normal behaviour for a 12 week old kitten. I would say she's hurting from something - get her to the vet asap

The kitten settled down after a while and went back to being playful. I don't think she was hurting in any way, thankfully.
