Love shown by Anglican group for wild cat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocelot

'wild cat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'love shown by anglican group' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'shown by' says to put letters next to each other.
'anglican' becomes 'ce' (I've seen this in other clues).
'group' becomes 'lot' (lot is a kind of group**).
'o'+'ce'+'lot'='OCELOT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ocelot that I've seen before include "Wild creature" , "Big cat" , "Spotted New World feline" , "Nocturnal wild cat of Central and South America" , "Yellow-black striped and spotted cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
