Pussy-footing lackeys? (8)
I believe the answer is:
catspaws
'lackeys?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'pussy-footing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pussy' could be 'cat' (I've seen this before) and 'cat' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
