Point to me with a cry (3)
I believe the answer is:
mew
'a cry' is the definition.
(mew is a kind of cry)
'point to me' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'w' (W is an example**).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'w' put after 'me' is 'MEW'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for mew that I've seen before include "Cat's sound" , "Seagull" , "Miaow" , "Feline sound" , "Sound made by a cat" .)
