Pet - a cold one perhaps (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canoodle

'pet' is the definition.
(both can mean to touch lovingly)

'a cold one perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'cold'+'one'='acoldone'
'acoldone' is an anagram of 'CANOODLE'.

(Other definitions for canoodle that I've seen before include "Pet" , "Fondle" , "neck" , "Smooch" , "Behave amorously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
