Scratch that guess - leopard cats are solitary!

The ocelot is not exactly a 'social' creature - although it may share it's sleeping place and territory with others, it does not hunt in packs or form prides and therefore cannot be described accurately as being social.

However, I think you may have found the correct answer Denise!

Most cats are solitary animals, the main (only?) exception being lions - and cats such as leopards who have their cubs with them still or who are breeding.
