Climbing thief (3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cat burglar

(Other definitions for cat burglar that I've seen before include "Housebreaker entering by upper windows, skylights etc" , "What Macavity could be" , "out to steal the kitty?" , "Criminal who can climb" , "Thief entering via an upper storey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
