Cat

Cats are a passive mob, due to be introduced in Minecraft 1.2 The mob was first implemented in snapshot 12w04a.

When ocelots are tamed, they turn into one of three different cat skins. Orange is the most common colour you will get when taming an Ocelot, followed by black being the second most common and siamese being fairly rare. They will follow you around and will teleport to you if you are too far away. They also sometimes randomly attack chickens.

Breeding
A pair of cats breed by right clicking two cats while holding a raw fish.

Breeding will create a baby cat and the parent cats have a delay of five minutes in an actual time until they can breed again. Baby cats will not drop experience orbs.

When breeding cats, orange is the dominate gene. Breeding either a black or white cat with an orange cat will most commonly result in an orange kitten.

Behavior
After taming an ocelot, the cat will follow you around. Currently, there seems to be no 'wait' function for cats that there is in wolves. When activating its chicken hunting behavior, a cat will go into a 'sneak mode' like stance and will stalk a chicken for a short while until it is within striking distance, at which point the cat will leap forward and chase the chicken.

Bugs

 * When a chicken is on the opposite side of a fence from a cat, the cat will get stuck in the fence, until it kills the chicken.


 * When navigating down a slope (at least one block high) a cat will spin in a circle once it reaches the bottom.
