Black cat's in a frenzy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satanic

'black' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cat's in a frenzy' is the wordplay.
'frenzy' indicates an anagram.
'cats'+'in'+'a'='catsina'
'catsina' anagrammed gives 'SATANIC'.

(Other definitions for satanic that I've seen before include "Supremely evil" , "Like hell it is" , "Bad" , "Devil-like" , "like Mephisto" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
