Slyly spiteful (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catty

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for catty that I've seen before include "Bitchy as a feline" , "Spiteful in feline way" , "Backbiting" , "Mean and spiteful" , "It's like a queen" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
