... old cat dies after shuffling out of place (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dislocated

'out of place' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'old cat dies after shuffling' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'shuffling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'old'+'cat'+'dies'='oldcatdies'
'oldcatdies' is an anagram of 'DISLOCATED'.

(Another definition for dislocated that I've seen is " put out".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
