An animal let out other animals (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cattle

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

'other animals' is the definition.
'cattle' can be an answer for 'animals' (I have seen 'Bovine animals ' mean 'cattle' so perhaps 'animals' could also mean 'cattle'). I'm not certain of the 'other' bit.

'an animal let out' is the wordplay.
'an animal' becomes 'cat' (cats are animals).
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'let' anagrammed gives 'tle'.
'cat'+'tle'='CATTLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cattle that I've seen before include "Domesticated bovine animals" , "Ruminant animals with horns and cloven feet" , "Farm animals" , "feature of 21/23 [NATIVITY SCENE]" , "Domestic bovines" .)
