Sat about with our five pets (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

favourites

'pets' is the definition.
(I know this)

'sat about with our five' is the wordplay.
'about with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'our'+'five'='ourfive'
'sat' mixed up with 'ourfive' gives 'FAVOURITES'.

(Other definitions for favourites that I've seen before include "Pets" , "those we rate highly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
