After month, decree to make cat safer (6)
I believe the answer is:
declaw
'make cat safer' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'after month decree' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'month' becomes 'dec' (abbreviation for December).
'decree' becomes 'law' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dec' next to 'law' is 'DECLAW'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for declaw that I've seen is " Probably trim cat".)
