Clubman chucking out skinned cat (5)
I believe the answer is:
ounce
'cat' is the definition.
(ounce can mean a snow leopard)
'clubman chucking out skinned' is the wordplay.
'clubman chucking out' becomes 'bouncer' (a bouncer might chuck people out of a nightclub).
'skinned' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'bouncer' are 'OUNCE'.
(Other definitions for ounce that I've seen before include "Small quantity - weight" , "Small amount (of old pound)" , "A light imperial measure of weight" , "28.3495 grammes" , "small portion" .)
