Crossword Genius

Very light cat? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ounce

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'very light' is the first definition.
(ounce is a very light unit of weight)

'cat?' is the second definition.
(ounce is a kind of cat)

(Other definitions for ounce that I've seen before include "Panther, perhaps" , "weight? Surely not" , "16 for a pound" , "Small imperial weight" , "One-sixteenth of pound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
