Crossword Genius

Report woman with wild cat (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

announce

'report' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman with wild cat' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'ann'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wild cat' becomes 'ounce' (I've seen this before).
'ann'+'ounce'='ANNOUNCE'

(Other definitions for announce that I've seen before include "Make known, declare" , "Publicise" , "Make known officially" , "Make public statement, proclaim" , "say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
