Sound of cats in a back street (4)
I believe the answer is:
mews
This could be a double definition.
'sound of cats in a back' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'street' is the second definition.
(I know that mews is a type of street)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mews that I've seen before include "Calls from Tom" , "Former stables converted into houses" , "Catcalls" , "sounds catty" , "occupied dwellings that used to be stables" .)
