A cry from somewhere (3)

I believe the answer is:

mew

'a cry' is the definition.
(I know that mew is a type of cry)

'from somewhere' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MEW' is hidden within 'somewhere'.

(Other definitions for mew that I've seen before include "Make sound like cat, or a gull" , "Animal sound" , "Feline sound" , "Cat's sound" , "Cry of a cat or gull" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
