I believe the answer is:

pushes

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

'shoves' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'tom cat outside' is the wordplay.
'tom' becomes 'he' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cat' becomes 'puss' (puss is a kind of cat).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'he' inserted into 'puss' is 'PUSHES'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pushes that I've seen before include "Presses, drives, or impels to action" , "Propels" , "Presses to move" , "Shoves" .)
