City cat at the heart of stories (7)
I believe the answer is:
limoges
'city' is the definition.
(I have seen 'City of porcelain' mean 'limoges' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'limoges')
'cat at the heart of stories' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cat' could be 'mog' (informal British term) and 'mog' is located in the answer.
'stories' could be 'lies' (to tell stories can mean to lie) and 'lies' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for limoges that I've seen before include "French commune" , "French porcelain centre" , "French city known for its porcelain" , "foreign city" , "French city noted for enamels and porcelain" .)
