I believe the answer is:

location

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

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

'a feline holding another with love' is the wordplay.
'a feline' becomes 'cat' (cat is a kind of feline).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'another' becomes 'loin' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'loin' placed around 'o' is 'loion'.
'cat' inserted within 'loion' is 'LOCATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for location that I've seen before include "Place, site" , "Setting" , "Position,place" , "Spot - where films may be shot" , "Whereabouts, position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
