Cat identified from curious plain toes (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sealpoint

'cat' is the definition.
(seal point can mean a cat with seal point markings)

'curious plain toes' is the wordplay.
'curious' is an anagram indicator.
'plain'+'toes'='plaintoes'
'plaintoes' anagrammed gives 'SEALPOINT'.

'identified from' is the link.

(Another definition for sealpoint that I've seen is " Plain toes (anag) - Siamese cat with dark brown markings".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
