Once upon a time, there was a mischievous cat named Whiskers who loved to play dress up. One day, he sneaked into his owner's closet and tried on every item of clothing he could find: a watch, a jacket, a hat, socks, shoes, jeans, a shirt, a skirt, trousers, a dress, a handbag, and even a T-shirt!

Whiskers pranced around the house, feeling silly in each outfit. But then, he heard a knock at the door. When he opened it, he found his friends waiting outside. They were so surprised to see him dressed up that they burst out laughing.

Whiskers was embarrassed at first, but then he realized how funny he looked and started laughing too. They all had a good time playing dress up together and showing each other their outfits. From that day on, Whiskers made sure to always have a sense of humor when trying on new clothes. The end.
