Ocelots are a passive mob, due to be introduced in Minecraft 1.2. The mob was first implemented in snapshot 12w04a. Ocelots will only spawn in Jungle biomes.
Behaviour
Ocelots are the first mob to sprint, their behaviour seems to be shy, as the Ocelots will sprint away from the player once it gets close, and will stop sprinting and walk normally once far enough away.
This behaviour will stop once tamed.
Standing still a few feet from an Ocelot while holding a raw fish will cause them to turn and face you and start to very slowly approach you, once in this mode, as soon as they are close enough, right-clicking them to give them the fish will tame them and they will transform into one of three different possible pet Cat (mob) skins and will follow you, similar to a tamed wolf.
Wild ocelots will occasionally slowly sneak up on chickens and pounce. The two player-related behaviors (fleeing from and slowly going towards for raw fish) appear to take precedent over chicken hunting.
