Silly to pamper cats and dogs inside? (7-7)
I believe the answer is:
feather-brained
'silly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pamper cats and dogs inside?' is the wordplay.
'pamper' becomes 'feather bed' (synonyms).
'cats and dogs' becomes 'rain' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inside?' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'featherbed' enclosing 'rain' is 'FEATHER-BRAINED'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
