In China, kitty gets dehydrated food (6)
I believe the answer is:
cathay
'in china' is the definition.
'cathay' can be an answer for 'china' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'in' bit.
'kitty gets dehydrated food' is the wordplay.
'kitty' becomes 'cat'.
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'dehydrated food' becomes 'hay' (hay is a kind of food. I am not sure about the 'dehydrated' bit.).
'cat'+'hay'='CATHAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cathay that I've seen before include "Name for China in medieval times" , "China - antique" , "Literary name for China" , "Old name for China with a feline to start" , "Name for China in medieval Europe" .)
