Wild cat also found by the sea (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coastal

'by the sea' is the definition.
(by the coast)

'wild cat also' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'cat'+'also'='catalso'
'catalso' is an anagram of 'COASTAL'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for coastal that I've seen before include "along shore" , "To do with ribs" , "on the beach?" , "Bordering the sea" , "near the seaside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
