Inspiration for "Cats" (5)
I believe the answer is:
eliot
'inspiration for cats' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for eliot that I've seen before include "One of two writers" , "T S . . . . . wrote ''The Waste Land''" , "T S . . . . ., great poet of 'The Waste Land'" , "See 14" , "Middlemarch author" .)
