She's catty in a big way (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tigress

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

This could be a double definition.

'she's' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'catty in a big way' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tigress that I've seen before include "Striped female animal" , "Wild woman" , "Ferocious female" , "Wild animal" , "Large she-cat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
