Sick cat faints? That’s bizarre (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fantastic

'bizarre' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sick cat faints?' is the wordplay.
'sick' indicates an anagram.
'cat'+'faints'='catfaints'
'catfaints' anagrammed gives 'FANTASTIC'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for fantastic that I've seen before include "Extraordinarily good, tremendous" , "Brilliant or unbelievable" , "Marvellous" , "Wild" , "Illusory - excellent!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
