Yes.

The Jaquar is considered a “Big Cat”, the only such member of the subfamily, Pantherinae, in the New World, and like their Big Cat cousins — the leopard, the lion, and the tiger, they can roar.

The ocelot is a member of the subfamily, Felinae, which are able to purr but not to roar. They are cousins to, among others, the cougar, the lynx, the bobcat, the cheetah, and the domestic cat.
