Nocturnal, spotted wildcat (6)

I believe the answer is:

ocelot

(Other definitions for ocelot that I've seen before include "Yellow-black striped and spotted cat" , "Wild cat of the Americas" , "Striped and spotted wildcat" , "Wild cat, native to Central and South America - loo etc (anag)" , "American wild cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
