Special welcome for Yorkshire cat? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red carpet

'special welcome' is the definition.
(special welcome for celebrities)

'yorkshire cat?' is the wordplay.
'yorkshire' becomes 'redcar' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cat?' becomes 'pet' (cat is an example of a pet).
'redcar'+'pet'='RED-CARPET'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "for star treatment" , "VIP treatment" , "sort of treatment for special visitors?" , "one under the Queen?" , "Welcoming walkway" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
