Naughty could have a GI illness, may have eaten something, a foreign body, or could have intestinal parasites causing his diarrhea. I would make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments by getting one from his vet. You can try a home remedy as well to see if that helps the diarrhea. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
