Tom is a name for a big bell, and it could be attached to a pet? (a cat maybe)?
The wordplay is:
Big bell = TOM
'is attached to' - tells you to join it on to the next bit
Pet = CAT

The whole (TOMCAT) indicates the sex of the beast.
Big Tom is one of the bells at Lincoln Cathedral. Not quite as famous as Big Ben, but fairly well-known.

BJ
and Great Tom is the bell in Tom Tower, Christchurch, Oxford.

Thank you.

I do not think I would ever have put together tom and bell.
Do you mean that tom means bell, or that, as Big Jenny and tearinghair say, Tom is the name of some bells ?

Thank you all.
