Crossword Genius

Favourite part of Cape Town (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pet

'favourite' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'part of cape town' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'PET' can be found hidden inside 'cape town'.

(Other definitions for pet that I've seen before include "Preferred" , "Tamed animal; sulk" , "Favourite; fit of the sulks" , "Cat or dog" , "blue-eyed boy?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
