container

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

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
