Measure - cat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ounce

This clue is a double definition.

'measure' is the first definition.
(ounce is a kind of measure)

'cat' is the second definition.
(ounce can mean a snow leopard)

(Other definitions for ounce that I've seen before include "Wildcat" , "Unit equal to about 28 grams" , "Small imperial weight" , "scrap" , "Wild cat or light weight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
