Last updated
Ever wondered how to make a feline friend in Minecraft? Today, we’re diving into the simple steps on taming a cat in this blocky universe!
So, you’re strolling through a village in Minecraft and spot a cute, wild cat. You think, “How can I get this adorable creature to be my companion?” Well, let’s break it down.
Grab Some Fish to Win a Cat’s Heart
To tame a cat in Minecraft, your journey starts with fishing. Cats love fish, so you’ll need to catch some raw salmon or cod from any water body nearby.
Once you have your fish, approach a stray cat slowly. If you rush, it might get scared and run away! When the cat notices you (but before it can skitter off), use the fish to attract it closer. Right-click on the cat with the fish in your hand, and voila! After a few attempts, hearts will appear above its head, indicating you’ve successfully tamed it.
Why Taming a Cat in Minecraft is Awesome
Not only do tamed cats make cute companions, but they also scare away creepers and bring you gifts! Yes, once tamed, a Minecraft cat can actually bring you things like feathers and raw chicken. Talk about a loyal friend!
So, next time you’re adventuring through the blocky landscapes of Minecraft, remember that a little fishing can lead you to your next blocky best friend.
