Explanation:

To match the model sentence structure (Subject, additional info, verb phrase, that - clause with comparison), we arrange the phrases: "Mr. Mean," (subject with name), "a perceptive cat," (additional info about subject), "had figured that his owner would be" (verb phrase + that - clause start), "beside himself about the shredded upholstery" (part of the that - clause), "even worse than the last time" (comparison phrase to complete the clause).

Answer:

Mr. Mean, a perceptive cat, had figured that his owner would be beside himself about the shredded upholstery even worse than the last time.
