Hybrid feline got in trouble (5)
I believe the answer is:
tigon
'hybrid feline' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'got in trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'got'+'in'='gotin'
'gotin' is an anagram of 'TIGON'.
(Other definitions for tigon that I've seen before include "Cross between two big cats" , "cat cross" , "Hybrid offspring of two big cats" , "Tiger-lion hybrid" , "Cross between tiger and lion" .)
