Kitty's eye looking the wrong way (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pool

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kitty's' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'eye looking the wrong way' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'l' (abbreviation for left) and 'l' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'poo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pool that I've seen before include "Pond; table game" , "Game; common supply" , "In which to see water" , "Small lake" , "Put (resources) together" .)
