Black cat's first monument (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomb

'monument' is the definition.
(I know that tomb is a type of remembrance)

'black cat's first' is the wordplay.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'cat' becomes 'tom' (a tom is a male cat).
'first' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'b' after 'tom' is 'TOMB'.

(Other definitions for tomb that I've seen before include "remains here" , "Place of burial, grave or vault" , "Sepulchral monument" , "Place for the burial of a corpse" , "grave situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
