Leopardus pardalis, familiarly (6)

I believe the answer is:

ocelot

(Other definitions for ocelot that I've seen before include "American cat, like a small leopard" , "Fur" , "Feline mammal" , "Wild cat, native to Central and South America - loo etc (anag)" , "Striped and spotted wildcat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
