Can anyone give me hints or nudges for these two clues, please ?

62 Elephant or leopard perhaps takes one on to be a top performer (7)

77 Working with Mrs Black (7)

If I have got the rest right, they both refer in some way to cats.
Thank you.
fred

Thank you Polly Dee. I'll ponder on that. It's not like this setter to make any mistakes, though.

elephant and leopard are both types of seal
takes one (i) + on = seal i on - sealion - top performer in circus
