    How do I make a cat in creative mode?

    Community Answer

    Spawn or find an ocelot, then tame it with raw fish. Stand very still holding the fish and eventually it will slowly approach you. Use the fish on it. If you succeed, it will turn into a cat. You can also breed two tamed cats to make a baby.

      Warnings

      • In creative mode you can fly, so falling into the Void isn't really much of a problem...

        Thanks

        Helpful113Not Helpful39

      • Be careful! You can delete bedrock, and you could end up in the Void!

        Thanks

        Helpful114Not Helpful42

      • If you're playing on a server, beware of griefers! If you give them permissions, they can do whatever they want to your plot, and some servers only give you one plot! So be careful:)

        Thanks
