Kitty on edge as just out of water (8)
I believe the answer is:
poolside
'just out of water' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'kitty on edge' is the wordplay.
'kitty' becomes 'pool' ('pool' can be a synonym of 'kitty').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'edge' becomes 'side' (I've seen this before).
'pool'+'side'='POOLSIDE'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poolside that I've seen before include "where lifeguard may be found" , "where bathers congregate" , "next to lido" .)
