Q&A for How to Tame an Ocelot in Minecraft

Yes the kitten follows you if it is yours but keep in mind that it will go after chickens and it is scared of zombies and skeletons and spiders. Kittens can also go through one block holes.

Because ocelots are shy and graceful creatures. It's best to stand in a corner, not move, and crouch. Use fish to tame them.

No, there is no limit to the amount of ocelots you can tame, as long as you have enough fish.

You don't feed it until it comes near you and stops sneaking, then you must carefully move the + on to its face and right click with the fish.

Yes. Right-clicking on your cat will make it sit. Cats also sit on furniture of their own free will, and you will not be able to access the furniture if they do. You can move at least 12 blocks away, at which the cat will teleport and you can access your furniture.

Look in the jungle biome; they spawn there. Walk up to them very slowly, and move your camera slowly as well. Make sure you're holding plenty of fish, so that when they look at you, you'll be ready to feed them.

Ocelots are one wild cat in Minecraft. When you tame an ocelot using fish, you can get a tuxedo cat, a Siamese, or an orange tabby. There are now stray cats in the game as well as ocelots. Additionally, these are the types of cats now in the game: Black, British shorthair, calico, jellie, Persian, ragdoll, red, Siamese, tabby, tuxedo, and white.

No, you don't. You can also be in creative, hardcore, etc. However, you need to take the same steps to tame it in each mode.

It is impossible to know what breed of cat you will get before breeding it. You will only know what it is afterward.

Sometimes when the ocelot is too close, when it begins its slow creep toward you (around 5 blocks), it will never be tamed. It's some kind of glitch. Just back off, then start the process over again. Usually you want it to start toward you from 7 blocks away or more, but it won't pay attention above 10. Just make sure it's not looking the other way or you'll get too close before it notices, causing the problem.

Cats can't jump particularly high, so if the pit is 2 blocks deep, they can't escape. If you walk too far away, they may despawn. They can't be tamed if trapped in a small area, but if your pit is wide enough (20 blocks, perhaps), they may still go into begging mode.

It boils down to he who tames it owns it. One owner per cat. So which ever player manages to tame the ocelot first wins. If you come across another player trying to tame it, it's nice to let him/her have it, another ocelot will come along soon.

If you mean in a tree, or in a skybase, absolutely! However, taming doesn't work in water or in small spaces, so you may want to build outwards/block off any water.

You can't. It's just luck.

That is the wolf's job. The wolf will fight most mobs, except for the Creepers.

Cats were programmed to only accept fish, so get 2 string, 3 sticks, make a fishing rod and go catch some fish!

If the ocelot still is an ocelot and there are only hearts, it just a glitch. Perhaps close down the game and try again.

You can find them in jungle biomes, or you can spawn one in creative. If you find an ocelot in any other biome besides jungle, it may have been spawned by another player or wandered off from home.

It turns into a cat to show that it's domesticated (tamed).

There is no way to tame a specific breed. If you really want a tabby, you could tame a bunch of cats until you find one.

No, a tamed cat will not attack a player, nor will an ocelot. They are passive mobs.

The minimum is one, while the maximum is infinite. The taming function in Minecraft is the result of a randomizer, when you feed it fish, the game generates a random number, and if the number matches with the predetermined "winning" number, then the ocelot is trained, if it isn't, then it isn't. But it is possible to use infinite fish and not train the ocelot. It isn't likely that it would happen, but it is possible.

Wolves will not fight cats. Also, if you don't want to get exploded by a creeper, a cat or ocelot on a leash will scare it away.

Yes. cats and any mob/enemy can enter and leave the nether.

In order to make it stand simply right click it; it is the same if you wish to sit it down.

What you do is get a raw fish and crouch in an open area with the fish in hand. Wait for it to walk up to you slowly, then left click it.

The cat will duck down and slowly walk to you if it's interested in your fish. Don't move, and keep right-clicking it with the fish as it comes closer to you. You'll know you tamed it if it sits down and changes its appearance.

This is probably based on the fact that cats in real life tend to love boxes.

You can't. The best you can do is lead the other player to a jungle biome and let them tame their own ocelot.

There's no possible way to do this. The cat has to look at you in order for you to tame it.
