Arrogance of big cats (5)
I believe the answer is:
pride
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'arrogance' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'big cats' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for pride that I've seen before include "''. . . . . goeth before a fall''" , "cause of swelling?" , "They say it comes before a fall" , "Hubris" , "'. . . . goes before a fall'" .)
