15a is an unclued word for a cat verifiable in Brewers. I have
ma?a?it?.. Can someone please find this animal for me. Thanks

Macavity?

It certainly seems the only word which fits but I cannot find any reference to it in Brewers or that it's a cat!

Macavity is definitely a cat - it's a famous poem by T. S, Eliot

Farr,Macavity is in my Brewer's, the 19th edition.

My Brewer's doesn't seem to have a list of famous cats, although the dogs are there, except 8dn minus the 'e'. I have the millennium edition, don't know if the 19th came before or after that.

Farr, I've just checked today's crossword. The preamble specifically mentions the 19th edition of Brewer's, so I think Doc knows some entries are not in some earlier editions.

Thanks Malone and Elle.. That leaves me with 8d ?oye. Please put me out of my misery so I can put this to bed. Thanks

Farr, the 19th edition is dated 2012 - obviously later than yours! The dog, with its E, is in it. There's a whole page of cats, starting at Bagpuss and finishing at one of today's unclued answers.
