Welcome To Wordless Wednesday At Create With Joy!
When it comes to cat parenting, I am pretty chill.
I only have a few rules.
Know the difference between a litter box and a shoe box
(And treat both accordingly.)
Stay off the stove and the kitchen counters.
Don’t treat my computer workspace like a jungle gym.
Would it surprise you to learn that Mister Naughty Pants
Has broken the rules on more than one occasion?
The other day, I was sitting at my computer and
Legend was faithfully sitting by my side,
Peering outside the window,
Watching the birds go by.
Then, I turned my head for just a moment.
When I turned back, my sweet Legend was gone.
I looked all around but he was nowhere to be found.
Where had my little Houdini gone?
Surely he had not escaped my watchful eye!
And then it happened.
From out of nowhere appeared Mister Naughty Pants!
Haughtily he strolled from Legend’s cozy window perch
And stealthily sat behind my computer monitor.
Silently stalking me, just
Watching, waiting, and wanting to be found.
When I saw him –
I jumped, startled!
Visions of mangled hardware danced through my head!
Mister Naughty Pants –
Nonplussed by being noticed –
Delighted in being discovered –
Ignored all pleas for him to come out, opting instead to
Romp and stomp among the routers!
Finally – when he got bored –
He sat and stared at me with his big luminous eyes
Reminding me that I am the human and
He is The Cat.
Which brings us to Lynn M. Osband’s astute observation:
The mathematical probability of a common cat
Doing exactly as it pleases is the one
Scientific absolute in the world!

That look on his face is priceless!

Hello.
So cute cat, it’s a purebred.
Good frebruardag to you from Mrs. Marit.

Thanks – I have several shots of Mister Naughty Pant’s escapade which I’ll be sharing in the upcoming weeks!
Oh those eyes!
Oh my goodness that is much too true about cats stubborness being the the one scientific proof in the world!! Love it! Our kitten likes to explore behind the entertainment center while we’re not home (or not looking) which cause a problem because EVERYTHING is plugged in back there. Not so fun when you come home to no internet nor the TV not turning on, only to discover the cat has been stepping on cords and unplugging things again…
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
Ah, yes – the entertainment center!
In our new set-up, Mister Naughty Pants is unable to get behind the cabinets to the wires (old units open – new units CLOSED) –
but he is FASCINATED by the machines and we have to monitor him to make sure he is not jumping up and down on stuff!
(I can tell you from experience that cat hair and electronics do not mix!)
We’ve also wasted time trying to figure out why our electronics are no longer functioning – only to discover (thank you cats) that yes, they must be plugged in to work!
Ah ha ha love it!

Legend is a sweetie but I hope Mister Naughty Pants doesn’t break your sweet kitty’s heart.
As you can see, I have no sway over his comings and goings!

He looks startled as if thinking “Oh my, I am caught!” Thanks for hosting.
I agree, as my cat stares down at me from atop our electric recliner. I’m in this week. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the linky, I LOVE how cats make every area their own, lol.
I have a Linky as well, feel free to stop by and leave your link 😉

Sounds like he devised an attention getter opting for naughtiness to make sure you’d notice.
As we have said before…predictably unpredictable. Absolutely superior photo. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
That would totally make me jump seeing him right there! lol Too funny!
Oh those naughty little cats! We adopted a new 1 year old cat and out old 8 year old is struggling with the change. We’ve got 3 separate areas and litter boxes going for these two cranky girls. Oy, vey!

says:
Oh I feel for you! Our boys will be turning 6 soon. We had wanted to get a 3rd cat at some point – but Mister Naughty Pants is so jealous, I am not sure that will be possible!
Twitter: RealWorldMom
says:
He may not be where he’s supposed to be, but, I have to admit, he looks pretty darn cute! 🙂
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
That must be how he manages to get away with all of his awfulness… lol!
What a poetic piece. You know I can relate to that cos I have one stubborn cat at home.

Those eyes! Looks like he’s been caught ‘cat-handed’ hahaha :)! Happy WW!

Yes indeed cat’s are unpredictable and I’m sure that Mister Naughty Pants would not be the first or the last to break the rules. But his pretty smile can get him very far :0…
Hope you join us in our WWHop over at http://www.craftyspices.com

All too true, I’m afraid…they will have their way, regardless of what the humans they own think of it!
Happy WW.

Haha I am laughing inside since it is to early to lol. Love the quote and your story, we could tell of these kinds of stories as well, just a few minutes ago I had to get after Mr Digger, who was stalking Mr Scruffy trying to start a cat chase that would of ended in a cat fight. Its getting close to a full moon and that might be part of it.
Thanks for hosting WW wishing you a great day!
