Is cat meat made to chew? (9)
I believe the answer is:
masticate
'chew?' is the definition.
('masticate' can be a synonym of 'chew')
'is cat meat made' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'is'+'cat'+'meat'='iscatmeat'
'iscatmeat' is an anagram of 'MASTICATE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for masticate that I've seen before include "Crush" , "deal with mouthful" , "Torpor" , "champ" , "Chew food" .)
