Silly behaviour with which to bamboozle the cat? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomfoolery

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

'silly behaviour' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to bamboozle the cat?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'bamboozle' could be 'fool' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'fool' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with which' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tomfoolery that I've seen before include "Acting stupidly" , "Shenanigans" , "Silly behaviour" , "Craziness" , "Nonsensical behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
