In China, pussy gets dehydrated food (6)
I believe the answer is:
cathay
'in china' is the definition.
'cathay' can be an answer for 'china' (historical name for China). I'm not certain of the 'in' bit.
'pussy gets dehydrated food' is the wordplay.
'pussy' becomes 'cat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'dehydrated food' becomes 'hay' (hay is a kind of food. I am not sure about the 'dehydrated' bit.).
'cat'+'hay'='CATHAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cathay that I've seen before include "Literary name for China" , "Name for China in medieval times" , "Ancient China" , "Name for China in medieval Europe" , "China long ago" .)
