Mister Naughty Pants Bides His Time
Thought For The Day
After scolding one’s cat
One looks into its face
And is seized by the ugly suspicion
That it understood every word.
And has filed it for reference.

Recently, I spent the weekend cleaning out my closets and dresser. I went through every piece of clothing I owned, filling my bed with piles of clothes to keep, store and donate. In the process, I cleaned and lined all of my dresser drawers with pretty new paper.
Since the day was hot, I stepped out briefly to get some water. When I returned, I could not believe my eyes. There lay that huge hairball himself, Mister Naughty Pants, sprawled across my freshly lined drawer in all of his fur-shedding splendor!
Mister Naughty Pants was happy as a lark. Apparently that drawer meant more to him than I realized. It meant so much to him, that he wrote about it in a special post, Mister Naughty Pants’ New Toy Box.
Unfortunately, I was not in the mood for fun and games at that moment. I was hot and tired and in need of a nap. So, I did what most people would do in that situation. I unceremoniously booted my baby from my drawer, gave him a new box to play in, and went about my day!
I now fear that I may have acted in haste. Every time I enter the bedroom, I am haunted by images of Mister Naughty Pants lying in wait for me, potentially plotting my demise. Wouldn’t you be, if your cat continually returned to the scene of the crime (his words, not mine) and sat staring at your dresser – without blinking – or glaring at you from his “slum brown box?”
Anyway – if I mysteriously disappear in the near future – send out a search party and put Mister Naughty Pants at the top of your Person Of Interest list! He has the motive. I’ve shared the evidence. These photos are worth a thousand words!

WOW! That picture reveals ONE PIERCING stare…don’t you agree?
Like I said in an earlier comment – I am now an INSOMNIAC – lol!
Ha ha! 😀 Great story. I love the name “Mr. Naughty Pants”. My dog Pierson goes by “Mr. Fluffybutt” but I think “Mr. Naughty Pants” would suit him too. Only he wouldn’t be plotting my demise, he would be sulking or trying to win me over by giving me his toys.
Second photo, he looks like a tiger almost. Beautiful stripes.
You know, I’ve been cleaning out my closet. An hour a month, getting rid of clothing I never wear. It’s really difficult because as soon as I toss it I will miss it, but when it is there, I don’t ever touch it. Learning to let go is the hardest thing to do!
That cat is slightly scary!
My goodness! He does look a bit put out at his “eviction.” Slum living is *not* for him… Oh sure, maybe boxes were fine before, but now that he’s experienced the dresser drawer… Well, I think it’s wise of you to take care for a while…
You’re right, Lisa. I guess it’s hard to go back to the slums once you’ve experienced life in the highrise! Mister Naughty Pants thanks you for helping me to see things from his perspective!
Great post! I wonder if Mr. Naughty Pants is pleased with his notoriety. Lol.
Mister Naughty Pant’s philosophy? ANY attention is GOOD attention! 🙂
Oh that’s too funny! And a familiar story at our house, too – in fact, our cats may be in cahoots. we should be afraid…very afraid. 😉
A Sculptor in the Making
Too cute!! Love me some kitties! 🙂
I’d be afraid, very afraid, cats are vengeful creatures! 😉
Mr. Naughty Pants is on a mission. It’s nice to see such determination! Well, not nice for your drawers though! Good luck and happy WW!
Mr naughty Pants appears to be contemplating his next move, I think you’ll be getting off lightly if a furball is your biggest worry.
He looks like such a wild little creature! Thanks for linking up for Flash Blog Friday 🙂
Too Funny:) Yes, I bet he is plotting. Of course if you would just give him his drawer back you may be safe. Thank you for sharing this funny story at Freedom Fridays. (I so need to take pictures of my hubby’s baby, other than less hair he could be a look alike)
This is such a great link-up! Thank you for sharing on NOBH! And if I were you, I would be afraid…;) That cat wants his drawer back and he looks like he’s not fooling around! LOL!
Love and God Bless,
Christy
Thank you for sharing your adventures with Mr Naughty Pants at Tell Me A Story. Animals do claim territory and I am certain he liked that drawer better than a box.
This had me laughing out loud! If you disappear, we know who the culprit is. 🙂
Nice Post.
