How to tame a Cat in Minecraft

Cats are one of the finickiest animals in Minecraft. Unlike other animals, they are easily spooked by your presence and will run away if they see you coming too aggressively. As such, this can make taming a cat a tricky endeavor. However, as long as you follow the steps below, you'll have a tamed cat in no time:

First, you need to find a cat, which most commonly spawn in villages. Once you find a cat, approach them extremely carefully. Any sudden movements and the cat will run away. You also want to ensure you're crouching.
While you're approaching the cat slowly, have a raw cod or raw salmon in your hand. This makes the cat less likely to run away.
After you're close enough to the cat, feed the raw cod or salmon to it. This will successfully tame the cat, making them follow you around.
You can feed the cat another raw cod or raw salmon to make them enter love mode. If the cat is near another tamed cat, they will breed.
