What cat does in street (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mews

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

'street' is the definition.
(I know that mews is a type of street)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mews that I've seen before include "Fashionable town street" , "small street" , "Ex-stabling housing" , "Kittens' sounds" , "Row of houses converted from stables" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
