Feature in how to turn a cat into a man (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detail

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'feature in' is the definition.
'detail' can be an answer for 'feature' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'in' bit.

'to turn a cat into a man' is the wordplay.
'to turn a cat' becomes 'tai' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a man' becomes 'Del'.
'tai' going within 'del' is 'DETAIL'.

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for detail that I've seen before include "Tailed into particulars" , "A small or subordinate particular" , "Tailed into minutiae" , "Factor" , "Give full info about" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
