She’s a c-cat! (4)

I believe the answer is:

cleo

'she's' is the definition.

'a c-cat' is the wordplay.
'cat' becomes 'leo' ('lion' in Latin).
'c'+'leo'='CLEO'

(Other definitions for cleo that I've seen before include "She ruled" , "Ms Laine - one of the 14 films" , "Carry on -- (1964 film)" , "Woman" , "Dame Laine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
