This poor kid. He just wanted to pass the time on a rainy day. Instead, he gets a masterclass in anxiety management. He narrates the whole thing, and he’s terrified.
“I do not like this. I do not like it at all.” That’s basically my internal monologue during a Zoom meeting. He’s the audience surrogate. We feel his fear.
But here’s the kicker: he never actually stops the Cat. He just watches, helplessly. Classic kid behavior. And his sister, Sally? She’s mostly just there to look shocked.

Sally: The Silent Sidekick
Poor Sally. She gets maybe one line? She’s mostly just standing there with her hands on her face. A perfect mime of terror. She’s the "I can't believe this is happening" friend.
In the TV specials, she gets a voice. But in the book? She’s a statue. A very quiet, very worried statue. She’s the real MVP of understated acting.
