Crossword Genius

Draw tart cat demolished (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attract

'draw' is the definition.
(I know that draw can be written as attract)

'tart cat demolished' is the wordplay.
'demolished' indicates an anagram.
'tart'+'cat'='tartcat'
'tartcat' anagrammed gives 'ATTRACT'.

(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "Exert a pull upon" , "to be appealing" , "Entrance" , "Draw towards, being magnetic" , "Draw towards like a magnet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
