Sounds from cat in fashionable street (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mews

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'sounds from cat' is the first definition.
'mews' can be an answer for 'sounds' (mew is a kind of sound). I am not sure about the 'from cat' bit.

'fashionable street' is the second definition.
(mews are often fashionable places to live)

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mews that I've seen before include "Street of homes converted from stables" , "Group of former stables converted into homes" , "House converted from stables" , "Fashionable town street" , "Former stable dwellings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
