Feline Auntie receiving zero emptied account (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bobcat

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

'feline' is the definition.
(I know that bobcat is a type of catamount)

'auntie receiving zero emptied account' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'zero' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'account' could be 'ca' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ca' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bobcat that I've seen before include "Small lynx of Norht America" , "Kind of lynx" , "Type of lynx" , "Small N American lynx" , "North American lynx" .)
