meow

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

'remark' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Catty remark' mean 'meow' so perhaps 'remark' could also mean 'meow')

'persian seagull circling round?' is the wordplay.
'persian seagull' becomes 'mew' (mew is a kind of seagull. I am not sure about the 'persian' bit.).
'circling' is an insertion indicator (circling can mean going around or containing).
'round?' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'mew' going around 'o' is 'MEOW'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meow that I've seen before include "Catty remark" , "Cat's cry" , "reply to spiteful dig" , "Crying sound of an animal" , "Cry of a cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
