Fellow in his dotage raised cats (7)
I believe the answer is:
felines
'cats' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'fellow in his dotage raised' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'fellow' could be 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.) and 'f' is found within the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for felines that I've seen is " Cats".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
