Tutorials/Ocelots

If you would like a cat but you don't know how to get one, this guide is for you.

Note: Cats and ocelots are only featured in Minecraft version 1.2 and later!

Firstly, you should be in a jungle biome and have plenty of raw fish. Wander around the jungle biome until you find an ocelot. If you are playing on peaceful then none will spawn (Realistic Minecraft Mod fixes that). Ocelots are a lot like other passive mobs, such as cows and sheep, because they spawn in random areas. Do not run after ocelots as they will sprint away from you making it hard for you to tame them, instead walk slowly towards them (sneaking by holding the Shift key may help). Do not move the camera suddenly as that will also cause ocelots to sprint away from you (Going into cinematic camera mode by pressing the F8 key may help some players). When you are close enough to the ocelot, stand still, as the ocelot will slowly come over to you. When the ocelot is five blocks away from you, looking at you, and is not moving, keep giving it raw fish by right-clicking the ocelot with the raw fish in your hand, until hearts appear above the ocelot. The ocelot will then become one of three cats, Tabby, Tuxedo, or Siamese.
