Not the foggiest - the one and only time I attempt to silence Oliver he couldn't talk for a week so Sally and I jointly decided that it would be best for all concerned if I didn't cast silencing spells on the children in future.
Ear plugs, perhaps? Or possibly distract them with chocolate, given the day?
Are you sure? At the moment Freddie is a rather sulky cat and Sally's been decorated like a white rabbit. Thankfully Jemima and I have remained unpainted for the time being.
Oh he did - immensely so - but I think what has annoyed him was being woken up by Sally laughing at the yellow and orange fur painted onto his face in his sleep. I could be mistaken, it should be noted, but it seems like a fair bet to me.
