In your Minecraft journey, a tamed cat is more than just a companion. It is a powerful friend that will help protect you from dangerous, hostile mobs. Cats are passive mobs that you can tame with raw fish. This gives you a pet cat for life.
Players love tamed cats because they are great friends, and they can be a creeper deterrent. Cats scare away Creepers and Phantoms, making your base much safer. You can also collect the many beautiful cat variants that exist in the game.
Learning how to tame cats in Minecraft is easy, but it requires patience and a good supply of raw fish. This guide will show you the safe way to find cats and turn them into your best tamed cat friends.
Cats are a type of pet found in the game. They are different from ocelots, which can also be tame animals in the jungle. Stray cats are found in villages, and once tamed, they become loyal tamed cats. The tamed cat has two main roles: a loyal friend and a deterrent that will keep certain mobs away from your base.
There are many different looks, or cat textures, for the stray cat. You will find common ones like the tuxedo cat and rarer cat variants.
Here are some of the popular cat variants:
There are 11 different cat variants in Minecraft. These cat textures include tuxedo cats, black cats, and the ragdoll cat. You can collect all of these unique cat variants by finding and breeding bees on your SMP server.
The best place to find cats is in a village. A stray cat will spawn naturally in a village if certain conditions are met.
Cats spawn in a village if the village has at least one villager and four beds. The game will try to spawn a total of ten stray cats for every village area.
Stray cats spawn in villages in the overworld. The only other place where a unique cat spawns is near a witch hut. A one untamed black cat will always spawn inside or near the witch hut structure.
To successfully tame cats, you must have raw fish. Cats only eat raw fish. This raw fish can be raw cod or raw salmon.
You must hold the raw fish in your hand and slowly approach the stray cat. When the stray cat stops moving and looks at you, you can start feeding it. Each raw fish you feed it will increase the chance of taming it. You can obtain raw cod and raw salmon easily with a fishing rod.
Cats like two main things: raw fish and beds. Cats are attracted to players holding raw fish. Once tamed, cats will often sleep on your bed or chest blocks in your base. Cats also like to sleep in the sun.
The process for how to tame cats is simple, but it needs patience to avoid scaring the stray cat away.
You must sneak when approaching the stray cat. Stray cats are easily spooked and will run away if you walk too fast. Slowly sneak closer with the raw fish in your hand. Stop walking when the cat flees and wait for it to come closer again.
Once the stray cat stops moving, start feeding it raw cod or raw salmon. You must keep feeding it the raw fish until hearts appear above its head. The hearts mean the stray cat has successfully tamed animals and has become a tamed cat. It usually takes between 1 and 7 raw fish.
Once the hearts appear, the cat in Minecraft will automatically have a cat’s collar on its neck. This cat’s collar is a visual sign that the cat is now a tamed cat and belongs to you. You can change the color of the cat’s collar with dyes at any time.
Yes, you can tame a witch cat in Minecraft. The black cats found at witch huts are just another variant of the stray cat. You can tame this black cat the same way: use raw fish while sneaking.
The process for how to tame a cat in Minecraft Bedrock is identical to Java Edition. Players must have raw cod or raw salmon and approach the stray cat slowly until hearts appear.
If you are playing in creative mode, you can use a cat spawn egg to instantly spawn a stray cat. You still must feed it raw fish to complete the taming process.
After taming two cats, you can start breeding bees to get more cat variants.
Here are the steps to breed cats:
No, you can only breed tamed cats owned by you. If you are playing on a multiplayer world or SMP server, you cannot breed another player's tamed cat.
Naming your tamed cat is important for keeping it safe. Even unnamed cats will not despawn, but naming them makes them easy to identify.
Here is how to name cats:
Tamed cats offer many benefits to the player's survival mode.
This is the most important role. Cats scare away Creepers and Phantoms. When a Creeper sees a cat, it will immediately run in the other direction. This makes tamed cats essential for security around your home.
A tamed cat will often sleep on the player's bed or on a chest. Cats enter nearby chests and beds to sleep.
When the player sleeps at night, the tamed cat lying on the bed will sometimes drop a gift for the player in the morning. These gifts can include a string of rabbit’s Foot, or Feathers.
Yes, tamed cats teleport to you. If you travel too far away from a sitting cat or standing tatameats, the cat teleports to you to keep up.
Yes, tamed cats will follow you everywhere unless you command them to cat sisity right-clicking on them. A sitting cat will stay in place until you make it stand again.
Here are some beginner tips to help you tame your first cat in Minecraft:
Taming cats is a rewarding part of Minecraft survival mode. The process is simple: find cats in a village or witch hut, use the sneak key to approach, and feed them raw fish like raw salmon or raw cod until hearts appear. The new tamed cat will automatically wear a cat’s collar.
Tamed cats are useful companions because they scare away Creepers and Phantoms, protecting your base. You can breed cats to get all the cat variants, like the rare Jellie Cat. A tamed cat will follow you, teleport to you, and even drop gifts. They are truly one of the best tame animals you can have in the game.
