She makes a cash collection (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kitty

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

'collection' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Collection of money' mean 'kitty' so perhaps 'collection' could also mean 'kitty')

'she makes a cash' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'Kit'.
'makes a cash' becomes 'ty' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'kit'+'ty'='KITTY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kitty that I've seen before include "potential winnings" , "Common pool of money" , "Pool - Katharina?" , "Cat; fund of money" , "Collection of money" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
