cat

This might be a double definition.

'tom' is the first definition.
(a tom is a male cat)

'whiskers' is the second definition.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cat that I've seen before include "Domestic animal" , "one's pyjamas? They're an excellent thing" , "Animal (domesticated or wild)" , "Feline mammel" , "Tabby" .)
