Hi sounds to me like she could be experiencing her first period of being in heat. the symptoms you describe sound very much like a cat in heat, see this page for more details

Also have you considered using the spot on treatments for fleas for your cat. there is less chance of your cat ingesting any of it whereas with powder they can. the powders are normally only used to get rid of fleas once they appear and are not intended for prolonged use. Please see this page for more info on various flea treatments.
