To tame a cat in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Find a Cat : Cats can be found roaming around villages or witch huts in swamp biomes. Villages usually have up to 4-5 cats depending on the size
- Get the Right Food : You need either raw cod or raw salmon to tame a cat. These fish can be caught by fishing in any water source or obtained by killing fish in oceans or rivers
- Approach the Cat Carefully : Cats are easily frightened and will run away if you approach too quickly. To avoid this, crouch (sneak) and slowly walk towards the cat while holding the raw fish in your hand. Stand still or crouch near the cat to let it come to you
- Feed the Cat : Right-click (or tap) the cat with the raw fish to feed it. You may need to feed it several fish (up to 10 or more) before it becomes tamed. When tamed, hearts will appear above the cat’s head and a red collar will appear around its neck
- After Taming : The tamed cat will follow you around and scare away creepers and phantoms. You can also command the cat to sit by right-clicking it with an empty hand, so it stays in one place
Summary:
- Use raw cod or raw salmon.
- Sneak and slowly approach the cat.
- Feed the cat until hearts appear.
- Enjoy your new companion that follows you and scares creepers away.
