felines

'cats' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'feels differently about taking' is the wordplay.
'differently' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'taking' becomes 'in' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'feels' with letters rearranged gives 'feles'.
'feles' placed around 'in' is 'FELINES'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for felines that I've seen is " Cats".)
