Impossible to pick up lionesses in camouflage (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noiseless

'impossible to pick up' is the definition.

'lionesses in camouflage' is the wordplay.
'in camouflage' is an anagram indicator.
'lionesses' with letters rearranged gives 'NOISELESS'.

(Other definitions for noiseless that I've seen before include "with a silencer?" , "Silent, quiet" , "unsound?" , "Mum" , "Lionesses (anag) - making no sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
