How to Tame a Cat in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to tame a cat with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In older versions of Minecraft, a cat was a type of mob that was created by taming an ocelot. However, in newer versions of the game, a cat is a type of mob that is independent of the ocelot. Now, there are stray cats wandering around in the game that you can tame into pets (instead of taming an ocelot).

Let's explore how to tame a cat.

Required Materials to Tame a Cat

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to tame a cat:

1 Raw Cod 1 Raw Salmon Cat

Steps to Tame a Cat

1. Find a Cat

Once you have the required materials, you will need to find a stray cat to tame.

If you are having trouble finding a stray cat, you can always summon a cat using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

2. Use the Raw Fish

You can tame a cat by giving it any kind of raw fish such as raw cod or raw salmon. In this tutorial, we will use raw salmon to tame the cat. To do this, place your raw salmon in the hotbar and make sure that it is the selected item in your hotbar.

Now you need to use the raw salmon. The game control to use the raw salmon depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the cat.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the cat and press the Tame button.
• For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
• For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the cat.
• For Education Edition, right click on the cat.

TIP: You will likely need to feed more than one raw fish to the cat to tame it.

Once you feed the raw salmon to the cat, you will most likely see gray smoke appear above the cat. The cat is not yet tamed. Continue to feed the cat more raw fish until you see red hearts appear all around the cat. This means that the cat is being tamed.

Once the taming process is complete, the hearts will disappear and the cat will behave like your pet.

Congratulations, you have just tamed a cat in Minecraft!
