Comments on the clue
1.A bit awkward pluralising a noun only to singularise it again!
2.Adding and subtracting the s of 'CHOW[s]' seems rather odd
3.Seems singular to use the plural and then delete the s to make it singular
4.A singular dog could corner or trap a cat and avoid the superfluous wordplay.
