Fellow’s dangerous like a cat (6)

I believe the answer is:

frisky

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

'like a cat' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fellow's dangerous' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'dangerous' becomes 'risky' (similar in meaning).
'f'+'risky'='FRISKY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for frisky that I've seen before include "High-spirited" , "Frolicsome" , "Playful, full of energy" , "Animated" , "Lively like playful dog" .)
