How to Tame an Ocelot in Minecraft

Follow these steps to gain an ocelot’s trust and have it follow you around:

Where to Find Ocelots

Ocelots are only in jungle biomes. Search for them in open spaces since they won’t approach you in close quarters. If you’re playing Creative mode, you can use an Ocelot Spawn Egg to summon as many ocelots as you want.

What You Need to Tame Ocelots

Ocelots will only eat raw salmon or cod. You should collect at least 20 raw fish to hold their attention. To gather fish, you first need to craft a fishing rod and go fishing in a lake, pond, or river.

What You Can Do With Ocelots

Like real cats, tamed ocelots will not stand by your side at all times unless you bribe them with food. Otherwise, they will wander around quite a bit. To keep them by your side, hold raw fish in your hand. Some mobs will run away from ocelots, so having one by your side can help you navigate areas with many Creepers.
