For example, wild cats with nine... (8)
I believe the answer is:
instance
'for example' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'wild cats with nine' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cats' after 'nine' is 'ninecats'.
'ninecats' with letters rearranged gives 'INSTANCE'.
(Other definitions for instance that I've seen before include "Canniest (anag) - occurrence" , "Example or single occurrence of something" , "Case - isn't acne (anag)" , "'Example, illustration (8)'" , "Case in point" .)
