Spotted wildcat (6)

I think it could be either:

ocelot

serval

'spotted wildcat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Irish Times, The Sun, the Universal, the Newsday, the LA Times and the Penny Press.
