In feel, perhaps, suggestive of a cat (6)
I believe the answer is:
feline
'a cat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in feel perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'feel'='infeel'
'infeel' is an anagram of 'FELINE'.
'suggestive of' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for feline that I've seen before include "Persian for one" , "16 [TOM] perhaps" , "Of or like cats" , "Like a leopard, say" , "Cat-like" .)
