'clear' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'feline energy excited corgi' is the wordplay.
'feline' becomes 'cat' (cat is a kind of feline).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'corgi' is an anagram of 'goric'.
'cat'+'e'+'goric'='CATEGORIC'

'that's' acts as a link.
