Tie to the cat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lash

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tie' is the first definition.
(lashing is a kind of tiing)

'the cat' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for lash that I've seen before include "Flog" , "Birch" , "Bind tightly with a rope or cord" , "Secure with rope" , "Beat; fasten with cord" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
