One of the only wild cats in which private ownership is actually encouraged. As an endangered species, owners are expected to register the cat with breeding programs so the "studbook" keepers can match them up with suitable mates to ensure genetic diversity. Personality wise, their just like big house cats, but even more demanding of your attention. And females in heat make the most terrifying growling sound, but it's not aggression, it's their mating call...



A full grown ocelot weighs between 15 - 35 pounds, but has the jaw strength of a pit-bull. They also have the ability to sense pressure points and major arteries and that's where they attack. Typically on a human they go for the throat, arm pit, inner elbow, and femoral artery/groin. A big cat handler whose spent years caring for lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, etc. said the only cat that ever came close to killing him was an ocelot. He said most cats, if you manage to block their attack and knock them back will retreat, but the ocelot will bounce right back at you again and again. It got him on his inner elbow, and severed the artery. He nearly bleed to death before he got to a hospital.
