Sort of pet cosmetic? Tad ridiculous! (8,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

domestic cat

'sort of pet' is the definition.
(I know that domestic cat is a type of pet)

'cosmetic? tad ridiculous' is the wordplay.
'ridiculous' is an anagram indicator.
'cosmetic'+'tad'='cosmetictad'
'cosmetictad' anagrammed gives 'DOMESTIC CAT'.

(Another definition for domestic cat that I've seen is " One Egyptians revered".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
