How the clue works
Right, so Forgetfulness is your definition — that's OBLIVION, being unaware or forgetful of everything. For the wordplay, take the first letters of "open bolts" to get OB, then stick IV (that's four in Roman numerals) inside LION, your wild cat, giving LIVION. Bolt OB onto the front of LIVION and you're there.
