   This was one of the three JA and I missed.

   I think, in desperation, I wrote in TAKE TO, without having an inkling why. This is about the only one I am still not 100% sure about. “Fighting” could be “war” and “cat” could be “tom”, so cat misplaced = mto. Hence war mto = WARM TO = happily accept? “tail” might be just to indicate that mto is at the end. Or something. I think a definition of “come to like” would be closer as a synonym to the answer.

   I’ve just stumbled across this. Yes, I know, I need a job! My take on 19D is exactly as per NC’s explanation with one small variation:
   cat = TOM
   cat misplaced tail = (misplace the last letter) = MTO
