In which fur sent flying with Spooner's big bird? (8)
I believe the answer is:
catfight
If this is the answer, I'm afraid I cannot explain it.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for catfight that I've seen before include "misses rowing?" , "Bitter dispute (between moggies?)" , "Battle between felines" , "Scrap between women" , "Spiteful dispute" .)
