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!

I love that Mr. Naughty pants! Oh my he is perfect for Aurora! lol. They are alike…I think I will have to share my Quiet Time Distraction picture…
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
You simply MUST post her pic as the online feline match-making continues…
Of course he’d want to lay on the fresh laundry, nice and clean…who wouldn’t? Trust a kitty to know how to live well!!!
I wonder that sometimes myself, if animals actually understand what we are saying sometimes, the looks on their faces seem to say yes. 🙂
LOL he knows a good thing when he sees it! Thanks for hosting, have a great week.
Well Mr Naughty Pants is giving you quite the stare! What a fun post!!
Hugs,

It’s after something!
Such pretty colouring! 🙂
Mr. Naughty Pants, I love it. The second pic is pure evil, lol. Such a cat.
LOL. When I first met my husband I caught his sister’s cat in the kitchen sink. I didn’t even shoo it away but after that it would hiss at me whenever it saw me in the kitchen. For years. Yup, it understood.

Love your story Robin! Cats definitely do NOT like to be caught in the act of whatever they consider “THEIR” business! 🙂
Thanks for hosting and sharing Mr. Naughty Pants! Come link up at my place (:

Aww he’s so cute! 🙂
Wow, can’t believe he would be so naughty. He definitely looks miffed in the second shot.
Awww, poor mister naughty pants! He looks pretty angry in that second picture. I do advise you to sleep with one eye open for the next few days lol.

Ah ha ha Mr. Bingley does the same thing to our clothes, especially my husband’s!

My cats ADORE sleeping on Prince Charming’s clothes! He often leaves them scattered about just for them to find. I would say they have him pretty well trained. No wonder Mister Naughty Pants is pouting – he is not used to being denied! 🙂
Pretty kitty!!
hahahaha I feel the same way about my cats sometimes! Feel like I’m watching my back!
He really is Mr. Naughty Pants, isn’t he? lol
He he. Cute.
You have made Mr. Naughty Pants famous. Do you pay him for the use of his name? 🙂

says:
Shhh, Chaya – don’t give Mister Naughty Pants any ideas! He already thinks everything in the house is his – especially the humans, lol!
A freshly lined drawer? Sounds like a cat’s dream! 🙂 haha

Now you know you can’t stay mad at Mr. Naughty Pants too long with that cute face!
I love love this post so funny.what a cute face..give him some shrimp or tuna water..he needs it… 😉
one of the most beautiful cats!!
Thanks so much for hosting! I am so glad to be joining you again this week. 🙂 I just love cats– they have so much personality and the look on Mr. Naughty Pants’ face is just priceless– too darn cute! 😉 Let us know how the drama with the drawer progresses this week! Many blessings, Lisa

says:
So glad you’re back Lisa! Stay tuned for more updates on Tsunami, Legend… and the ever amusing Mister Naughty Pants! 🙂
Lol I’ll keep it in mind! My own Mr Bingley is much more direct. If he believes I’ve overstepped my boundaries he simply attacks my ankles! 🙂

says:
Legend, do NOT let your human get away with this! That drawer is yours and you should take it back!

says:
Oh Sparkle – I KNEW you’d be on my side… wait til you hear about what Mom does to me when she finds me in the the bathroom sink cabinet (my FAVORITE dark dank place to hang out!!!)
Hey Girl! Hope you have a great hump day!

You too Carolyn! 🙂
Thanks for hosting!
🙂 them cats sure can glare. When my cat gets mad she uses her teeth to rip at my carpet, I’m guessing she’s wishing it was me she was ripping at.
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
LOL…when Tsunami has “issues” he goes to his post and starts ripping away – it is a sight to behold – FEROCIOUS – I would NOT want to be on the wrong side of his claws!!!
Sweet, yet so regal!
I love your guys! Maine Coons are awesome, but then again…cats are.
You always do such a great job picking the purr-fect quote to fit the crime!!
Cats are inherently naughty and I love that. xoxo
He does look like he may be plotting something hahah!
What a beautiful cat. My own naughty kitty prefers my laptop keyboard and is non too pleased when I boot her off. I have the scratches to prove it. She has on occasion skyped one or the other contact on my list!!! 🙂

says:
See! Finally! Someone who understands! Naughtiness abounds in the feline world! 🙂
Not only do my kitties love to type when I’m not around (and sometimes, right in the middle of my own posts and essays) – they have also been seen and heard making phone calls when they think we are not around! We are always careful to check our phone bills and to look for suspicious calls. Thank goodness we don’t skype!
LOL Mr. Naughty Pants. Thanks for hosting!
