Clear up cat's mess? Splendid! (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spectacular

'splendid' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'clear up cat's mess?' is the wordplay.
'mess?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'mess' mean this).
'clear'+'up'+'cats'='clearupcats'
'clearupcats' with letters rearranged gives 'SPECTACULAR'.

(Other definitions for spectacular that I've seen before include "Extravaganza" , "Sensational in appearance" , "Impressive, striking" , "Extremely impressive" , "Lavish production" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
