Country dweller got cat doctored with little hesitation (8)
I believe the answer is:
cottager
'country dweller' is the definition.
(a cottage is a rural dwelling)
'got cat doctored with little hesitation' is the wordplay.
'doctored' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'little hesitation' becomes 'er' (expression of hesitation).
'got'+'cat'='gotcat'
'gotcat' is an anagram of 'cottag'.
'cottag'+'er'='COTTAGER'
(Other definitions for cottager that I've seen before include "Country dweller" , "country-dweller" , "Countryman" , "Inhabitant of small simple house in the country" , "One living in a small house" .)
