Turned up with mother wildcat (4)
I believe the answer is:
puma
'wildcat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'turned up with mother' is the wordplay.
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma is a kind of mother).
'up' reversed gives 'pu'.
'pu'+'ma'='PUMA'
(Other definitions for puma that I've seen before include "Large American cat" , "International rugby player" , "American wildcat" , "South American carnivore" , "Panther" .)
