More malicious (7)

I believe the answer is:

cattier

'more malicious' is the definition.
('catty' can be similar in meaning to 'malicious')

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for cattier that I've seen is " more spiteful".)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Sun and the L.A. Times Daily.
