Pet in the arms perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hamster

'pet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the arms perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'arms'='thearms'
'thearms' with letters rearranged gives 'HAMSTER'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for hamster that I've seen before include "Little beast" , "one running round in circles?" , "Rodent often kept as pet" , "Kind of rodent with cheekpouches, often a pet" , "Rodent with large cheek pouches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
