(Special.) -Police suggested Thursday that local residents take another look at the next cat they see because it might not be a cat. It could be an ocelot. The possibility that the local cat population might be harboring such a stranger developed after William Lehnert of 37 May Street reported that his pet ocelot has been missing for a week. He told Captain George. C.

Ellinger that the animal is about the size of the family cat but is spotted like a leopard. It is harmless, Lehnert said. Alfred Lehnert said Thursday night that her son had brought the ocelot from Florida. A female, it had been sickly when young and although two years old, had grown to the size of a cat. Ordinarily an ocelot is slightly larger than a cat.

The animal was named "Cheeka" and became a pet at home, she said. It was kept in the house but last week it managed to leave through an open cellar door. The family has searched nearby woods in vain for several days. Mrs. Lehnert said she fears that dogs may have attacked the ocelot or that it may have succumbed to the unfamiliar cold of this area.

Police reported no trace of the animal Thursday night. Camp Woodstock Names; Bristol As President Abner C.
