Sit Reg up with the cats

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tigers

'cats' is the definition.
(I know this)

'sit reg up' is the wordplay.
'up' is an anagram indicator (letters get chucked up).
'sit'+'reg'='sitreg'
'sitreg' anagrammed gives 'TIGERS'.

'with the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tigers that I've seen before include "Large felines of forests" , "Large forest felines" , "Big striped cats poetically burning bright" , "Sir, get to the animals" , "Large striped felines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
