Cat's pa (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tom

'cat's pa' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tom that I've seen before include "- Lehrer, US humorist" , "Man's name; male cat" , "Queen's mate" , "Pig-stealing piper's son" , "Boy running off with pig" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
