From nightspot, ejects black cats (7)
I believe the answer is:
bounces
'from nightspot ejects' is the definition.
(what a bouncer does)
'black cats' is the wordplay.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'cats' becomes 'ounces' (ounce is a kind of cat).
'b'+'ounces'='BOUNCES'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
