Toast cooked for animal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stoat

'for animal' is the definition.
(type of rodent)

'toast cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'toast' is an anagram of 'STOAT'.

(Other definitions for stoat that I've seen before include "furry animal" , "Weasel-like mammal" , "Eating rabbit, he" , "European ermine" , "Short-tail weasel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
