Spotted Kitty inside (3)
I believe the answer is:
pot
'spotted kitty inside' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'spotted kitty inside' is the wordplay.
'inside' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'POT' can be found hidden inside 'spotted kitty'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pot that I've seen before include "Grass" , "Bowl" , "It may call the kettle black" , "Ceramic container" , "Cooking vessel, plant container and street drug" .)
