Why did I not know until this week…

Cats

That you can tame ocelots and make cats out of them now?

I need a Mine-Newt and a Mine-Pye on my phone.

Trivia

  • Cats like to sit on chests, beds, and active furnaces, mirroring the behavior of real-life cats.
  • While active furnaces are not affected by sitting cats, chests and beds are. If a cat sits on a chest, it cannot be opened, and if one sits on a bed, the player will not be able to sleep. The only ways to stop them from sitting on a chest or bed are to lure them away with raw fish, put glass blocks above it, or create a piston device to push them off.
  • If a window is present in a house, a cat may sometimes look out of it.
  • Wolves will not attack cats, tamed or otherwise.
  • Due to a bug cats and dogs may, in rare cases, teleport close to the player without any notable reason.
    • This may be intentional to prevent them from getting stuck or being unable to follow the player through the same path (such as over a large hill or across gaps).
    • It is confirmed on PlayStation 4 that dogs will teleport in order to follow the player if the distance between them grows too far.
  • Creepers will run away from cats, as if they are scared of them.
  • A standing cat can still breed with a sitting cat, but the kitten will always have the same pattern as the standing cat has rather than the sitting cat.
  • There is a rare glitch where when you tame a ocelot, it keeps the same texture as a ocelot but can sit down like a cat.
