Male cat, black, finds resting place (4)
I believe the answer is:
tomb
'resting place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'male cat black' is the wordplay.
'male cat' becomes 'tom' (I've seen this before).
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'tom'+'b'='TOMB'
'finds' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tomb that I've seen before include "Burial site" , "Burial chamber" , "Mausoleum" , "Place for the burial of a corpse" , "Sepulchre" .)
