South American cat (6)

I believe the answer is:

ocelot

(Other definitions for ocelot that I've seen before include "Feline mammal" , "Spotted New World feline" , "Wild creature" , "Leopard-like cat of S America" , "Wild cat, native to Central and South America - loo etc (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
