Talk:Cat

Spawning Rate
How often do cats spawn, because I have been hanging out in a village for several days with none spawning. Could it be because I made the world and generated the village before the Christmas Update (I'm on bedrock edition)?73.208.227.101 23:25, 16 December 2018 (UTC)


 * From what I've seen in Java Edition, they didn't start spawning until the villages were updated. Milo359 (talk) 08:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Villages with no villagers don't seem to spawn cats. Davebailey (talk) 18:05, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Bedrock Edidition
I'm sad you cant get a cat in bedrock edition :( RealAnaban (talk) 03:53, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Cats can be found around villages and can be tamed with fish, or, prior to 1.8, by taming ocelots. And why do you keep writing "Edidition"? – Nixinova Nixinova sig image 1.png Nixinova sig image 2.png 04:43, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

How to make a sitting cat move?
One thing I'd like to see in this article is an explanation of how to get a cat to move again once it's been commanded to sit. I haven't been able to figure it out, other than possibly attacking the cat. I have two sitting cats in my survival game (the only two in the village) and I'd like to get them to follow me around again. ~ Amatulic (talk) 06:29, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, never mind, it turned out I was making things complicated (hitting them with fish, tying a lead and pulling it until it broke, and other things). Turned out I just have to "use" any non-food or non-dye item, or even a bare hand, on the cat, and it toggles between sitting and moving. I'll update the article. ~ Amatulic (talk) 04:51, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Laying down
I've noticed that if you don't command them to sit, they sometimes lay down instead of sit at the foot of the bed. I have some screenshots if anyone's interested. 65.186.41.189 01:16, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey my cat doesn’t do that. Is it only on Java? 74.65.253.173 02:04, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Leashing strays
Stray cats that spawn near a village (in Java Edition) can be put on a lead. It's easiest to chase a cat into water to catch it. If you then remove the lead, the cat starts to act somewhat like a tame cat. It doesn't follow you around and sometimes bolts a short distance, but lets you near it. You also can't make them sit and they seem to despawn when you leave the area for too long. I'm not sure what's going on there. Kumiponi (talk) 17:11, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Um, how do I make a cat lie down?
So it says that on beds cats lie down. It doesn’t work is it a java edition thing for cats to lie down only? 74.65.253.173 02:02, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Ya how do I make it lie down I’m on iPad 74.65.253.173 02:04, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

You need to be sleeping during night time for the cat to lay down on your bed and purr. And yes, this is included in the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. I've managed to make it lie down during day on java. You need to move it towards the middle of the bed and it will lay down and purr, but I haven't tried it on bedrock. I believe it does exist. --Alecdbest (talk) 06:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
