Movement that's annoyed feral cat taking time out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flounce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'movement' is the definition.
(flounce is a kind of movement)

'annoyed feral cat taking time out' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'cat' could be 'ounce' (ounce can mean a snow leopard) and 'ounce' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flounce that I've seen before include "Edgy material" , "Move in a pet" , "A ruffle; walk (out) in huff" , "Strut" , "Frill; walk affectedly" .)
