Feline joins discussion (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lynx

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'feline' is the first definition.
(lynx is a kind of feline)

'discussion' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'joins' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lynx that I've seen before include "Cat - northern constellation" , "Wild cat noted for keen sight" , "Wildcat noted for keen sight" , "Northern short-tailed wild cat(s)" , "one with exceptionally good sight" .)

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