1: Invite it to a dinner dance, and repeatedly comment favourably on its dainty interpretation of the Cha Cha Cha.
2: Force it into a strict regime of self-flagellation interspersed with bouts of uncontrollable melancholy and twice weekly viewing of a BetaMax boxed set of Countdown – series 12.
3: Make it write out “I am a naughty naughty ocelot, and this is quite simply not cricket” 400 times on a blackboard. Repeat on Wednesdays until we run out of the letter W.
4: Immobilise it with handcuffs and a radiator, and then expose it to unsafe levels stabbing. Note: this may kill the ocelot, but a dead ocelot is a tame ocelot.
5: Lock it in a coal cellar with a gang of Columbian transvestites and play Kylie Minogue's “Locomotion” to it on repeat until it starts beeping and asking for its mummy.
6: At selected intervals throughout the day, offer the ocelot the use of your smoothie maker. Then, just as the ocelot is about to enjoy some fruity goo, rescind your offer, brutally, screaming “That's not how it works around here, Buddy”.
7: Ocelots are on average 3% tamer than most 6 by 4 marble worktops. Don't waste your time taming the ocelot, get your sorry arse down to the kitchen shop with a whip, top hat and smoothie maker.
8: Ask the ocelot to fill out an application form to work at McDonalds. When it does not get the job due to its inexperience, lack of formal qualifications and uncontrollable acne, taunt it, mercilessly.
9: Dress it up as a dog. Over time, it may tame itself.
10: Insert the ocelot into an industrial sized washing machine, along with 4 house bricks, 3 pounds of marmalade and a copy of Razzle – Granny Edition from the late 80s. Won't tame the ocelot, but fuck it. It's something to do. Note: May also break washing machine.
Please be aware that 99% of ocelots are untamable. Please ask your ocelot, before engaging in point 4. For further advice, ask your Dad. Or my Dad. But he won't know.
