And here I was quietly laughing for myself at OP's newbiness.

"Hoho, this guy must be new to /r/aww. He hasn't seen an ocelot before? Ho ho ho."

It could also be a Geoffroy's Cat - same genus as the Ocelot, but a different species and about half the size. While the OP's pic is definitely a kitten, it is interesting to note that adult Geoffroy's Cats retain a somewhat kitten-like appearance as well -> 20 year old Geoffroy's Cat

"Dwarf leopard" is another commonly used name for an ocelot.

The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), pronounced /ˈɒsəˌlɒt/, also known as the dwarf leopard or McKenney's wildcat...

I first read this as "def leopard kitten". This led me to google image search "rockstar cat." Would recommend to others.
