Catty in a doggy way? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bitchy
'catty' is the definition.
(I know that catty can be written as bitchy)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bitchy that I've seen before include "Catty" , "Speaking spitefully in manner of female canine" , "malicious" , "Unpleasant and spiteful like female dog" .)
