The average ocelot is about twice the size of a large house cat, although some specimens are as large as a small Indian leopard. A tree dweller and skilled hunter, the ocelot preys on any small animals and birds it can catch. It is a nocturnal cat and is particularly alert and active after dark. The ocelot, unlike its relative the domestic cat, loves water and is an accomplished swimmer. Ocelots are becoming more and more popular as pets in the United States and other countries. These interesting cats are easily tamed and can adapt to living conditions in cities and suburbs, but are not suitable pets for the average family.
