I am currently over 25000 blocks away from spawn and I was thinking it would be great to have a cat to scare creepers away so I made a fishing pole, caught some fish and tried to tame a cat. By now I've tried at least 20 times and every time the ocelot gets hearts over it's head, then runs away. I know that I have to wait for the cat to come to me so I do, and finally one starts staring at me, so I right click and then it gets hearts, takes my fish and bolts for the nearest bush. Why won't they tame? I have caught so many fish (and fed so many ocelots) that I should have a whole fleet of cats by now but I don't have a single one. /sad
That's odd. I know some people in town were asking about taming them and I told them fish. They said they couldn't get it to work. Sounds like a glitch maybe. :/
There have been problems with ocelots spawning in excessive amounts, but to my knowledge I don't think that there's anything wrong with taming them. Are you following the steps in this thread? Also make sure you stay still when taming, I believe that they run away from you if you move around a lot.
I am doing exactly what that thread describes. I stand perfectly still with the fish in my hand to make sure the ocelot is interested first. I'll just keep trying.
Alright, I finally got one. I'm curious to see what happens to pets when I die or go back to town...I guess I'll find out one way or another. Thanks for the replies!
