  • Question
    Will the kitten follow me too?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Why does the ocelot run way?
    Community Answer
    Because ocelots are shy and graceful creatures. It's best to stand in a corner, not move, and crouch. Use fish to tame them.
  • Question
    Is there a certain number you can tame?
    Community Answer
    No, there is no limit to the amount of ocelots you can tame, as long as you have enough fish.
  • Question
    How do I feed a cat without looking at it?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Do cats go into sit mode like tame wolves do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How would I find an ocelot in survival?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    What types of cats are present in Minecraft?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Do I have to be in survival mode to tame an ocelot?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How do you know what breed of cat you will be getting once you tame the ocelot?
    Community Answer
    It is impossible to know what breed of cat you will get before breeding it. You will only know what it is afterward.
  • Question
    I followed all the directions but it's not working. I am on a PC and gave the ocelot tons of fish. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    If I put ocelots in a pit, will this prevent me taming them and can they escape?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How does it work when I'm playing multiplayer and trying to tame the same ocelot as other players?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can I tame an ocelot above ground?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How can you get a specific cat in Minecraft PE?

    Community Answer
    You can't. It's just luck.
  • Question
    Why do cats only scare Creepers, and not scare Creepers away and fight the other mobs?
    Karianna Wood
    Community Answer
    That is the wolf's job. The wolf will fight most mobs, except for the Creepers.
  • Question
    Why can't I tame using a steak?
    Community Answer
    Cats were programmed to only accept fish, so get 2 string, 3 sticks, make a fishing rod and go catch some fish!
  • Question
    What if there are only hearts when I try to tame the ocelot?
    Community Answer
    If the ocelot still is an ocelot and there are only hearts, it just a glitch. Perhaps close down the game and try again.
  • Question
    Where can I find ocelots?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Why does the ocelot turn into a cat?
    Gabby
    Community Answer
    It turns into a cat to show that it's domesticated (tamed).
  • Question
    How do I tame a certain cat? Is there any way of being able to tame, say, a tabby or an orange one?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Will a cat attack you?
    Community Answer
    No, a tamed cat will not attack a player, nor will an ocelot. They are passive mobs.
  • Question
    What is the minimum and maximum amount of fish?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Will wolves fight cats?
    John Cebulski
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can a cat follow me through the nether?
    Community Answer
    Yes. cats and any mob/enemy can enter and leave the nether.
  • Question
    How do I make it stand afterwards?
    Community Answer
    In order to make it stand simply right click it; it is the same if you wish to sit it down.
  • Question
    How do I tame it on the X Box 360?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    What signal will the ocelot make if I try to tame it?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Why do cats and kittens like chests?
    Community Answer
    This is probably based on the fact that cats in real life tend to love boxes.
  • Question
    How do I give a cat to another player?
    Community Answer
    You can't. The best you can do is lead the other player to a jungle biome and let them tame their own ocelot.
  • Question
    How do I spawn it without it looking at me?
    Community Answer
    There's no possible way to do this. The cat has to look at you in order for you to tame it.
