Tame a cat and build it a cat house next to the dog house.

  • New skill Taming a shy animal with fish
  • Level 1 · The Village
  • Difficulty Beginner
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 30–45 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Cats are shy, so this one takes patience. You'll spawn a cat, hold some fish and creep up slowly until you can tame it. Once it's wearing a collar, it waits while you build it a cat house next to the dog house, so you can compare the two.

Finish line: Your cat has a collar and its own house right next to the dog house.

Bonus challenge: Name your cat with a name tag, just like you did for your dog in Mission 8.

You’ll need

  • Cat spawn egg
  • Raw cod or raw salmon
  • Building blocks
  • Something cats love (bed, wool)

You choose

  • Your cat's name
  • Cat house style (different from the dog house)
  • Something cats love: bed, wool, scratching post…

Stuck?

  • Cat running off? Move slowly or sneak while holding the fish, and let it come closer to you.
  • Only raw fish works for taming. Cooked fish won't do it.
  • Make the cat sit before you build, or it may wander off while you're busy.
