Mad Hatter companion (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dormouse

(Other definitions for dormouse that I've seen before include "Alice tea party creature" , "Small bushy-tailed rodent" , "Rodent that sleeps most of the day" , "Creature in teapot (Alice)" , "Sleepy guest at the Mad Hatter's tea party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
