Spotted feline of Central and South America (6)

I believe the answer is:

ocelot

(Other definitions for ocelot that I've seen before include "Yellow-black striped and spotted cat" , "Fur" , "Send animal to Cole" , "Nocturnal wild cat of Central and South America" , "Striped and spotted wildcat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
