In China, pussy gets dehydrated food (6)
I believe the answer is:
cathay
'in china' is the definition.
'cathay' can be an answer for 'china' (historical name for China). I am not certain of the 'in' bit.
'pussy gets dehydrated food' is the wordplay.
'pussy' becomes 'cat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dehydrated food' becomes 'hay' (hay is a kind of food. I am not sure about the 'dehydrated' bit.).
'cat'+'hay'='CATHAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cathay that I've seen before include "Literary name for China" , "Name for China in medieval times" , "Ancient China" , "Name for China in medieval Europe" , "China long ago" .)
