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

'overweight animals some getting too much bread?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'overweight animals some getting' is the wordplay.
'overweight' becomes 'fat' ('fat' can be similar in meaning to 'overweight').
'animals' becomes 'cats' (I've seen this before).
'some getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fat'+'cats'='FAT CATS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fat cats that I've seen before include "Leaders of commerce" , "wealthy businessmen produced" , "Large Persians" , "important people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
