Spotted wild cat of central and south America (6)

I believe the answer is:

ocelot

(Other definitions for ocelot that I've seen before include "Wild cat of the Americas" , "Yellow-black striped and spotted cat" , "Big cat" , "Striped and spotted wildcat" , "Small leopardlike cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
