Kitten-lifting spot (4)
I believe the answer is:
nape
'kitten-lifting spot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nape that I've seen before include "Girl personifying France" , "Scruff of the neck" , "Scrag" , "Here's a hairline" , "It's a pane in the neck" .)
