This holds cat Ronnie tamed (9)
I believe the answer is:
container
'this holds' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'cat ronnie tamed' is the wordplay.
'tamed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cat'+'ronnie'='catronnie'
'catronnie' with letters rearranged gives 'CONTAINER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for container that I've seen before include "tin can, say?" , "Eg, box" , "Metal shipping box" , "Standard size packing unit loaded onto ships etc" , "Holder" .)
