Unfading, your old dogs flushed cat from yacht, maybe (11)

I believe the answer is:

amaranthine

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

'unfading' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'your old dogs flushed cat from yacht maybe' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'your' could be 'thine' (I've seen this before) and 'thine' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amaranthine that I've seen before include "never fading" , "Ever-fresh" , "Like a plant" , "Flowery" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
