Being disturbed, can Pat snooze? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catnap

'snooze?' is the definition.
(snoozing is a kind of catnapping)

'being disturbed can pat' is the wordplay.
'being disturbed' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'pat'='canpat'
'canpat' anagrammed gives 'CATNAP'.

(Other definitions for catnap that I've seen before include "For a rest" , "Short sleep" , "little snooze" , "go out briefly" , "Kip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
