Wildcat strikes will put him out of work (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
lion tamer
'wildcat strikes will' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'him out of work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'him' could be 'lion' and 'lion' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tamer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'put' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lion tamer that I've seen before include "Circus act" , "Brave circus performer" , "like Daniel was" , "Who calms the beast" .)
