This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a tame ocelot that behaves like a cat with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

You can summon an ocelot that is already tamed, looks like a cat, and ready to be your companion whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.

Let’s explore how to do this.

TIP: Starting with the introduction of the new cat mob in Minecraft (Java Edition 1.14 and Bedrock Edition 1.8.0), you can no longer tame an ocelot into a domesticated cat.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13, the syntax to summon a tame ocelot using the /summon command is:

/summon ocelot [pos] {Owner:<PlayerName>, CatType:<Number>}

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10, the syntax to summon a tame ocelot is:

/summon Ozelot [x] [y] [z] {Owner:<PlayerName>, CatType:<Number>}

Definitions

  • pos or x y z is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the ocelot should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the ocelot will spawn in the current location.
  • {Owner:<PlayerName>} is an optional NBT tag (formerly called data tag) used to specify the owner of the tamed ocelot. See NBT tags for ocelot.
  • PlayerName is the name of the player that owns the ocelot. You can not use target selectors such as @p.
  • {CatType:<Number>} is an optional NBT tag (formerly called data tag) used to specify the type of cat to spawn.
  • Number is the number indicating what CatType to spawn. 1 = tuxedo, 2 = tabby, 3 = siamese.

Examples

Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13

To summon an ocelot that is tamed, owned by 9Minecraft and is a tuxedo cat in Minecraft 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13:

/summon ocelot ~ ~ ~ {Owner:9Minecraft, CatType:1}

To summon an ocelot that is tamed, owned by Joey and is a tabby cat:

/summon ocelot ~ ~ ~ {Owner:Joey, CatType:2}

To summon an ocelot that is tamed, owned by Sarah and is a siamese cat:

/summon ocelot ~ ~ ~ {Owner:Sarah, CatType:3}

Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10

To summon an ocelot that is tamed, owned by 9Minecraft and is a tuxedo cat in Minecraft 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10:

/summon Ozelot ~ ~ ~ {Owner:9Minecraft, CatType:1}

How to Enter the Command

1. Open the Chat Window

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon a tamed ocelot that is owned by 9Minecraft and is a tuxedo cat in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.13 with the following command:

/summon ocelot ~ ~ ~ {Owner:9Minecraft, CatType:1}

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, the tamed ocelot will spawn as a cute cat and appear in your world:

You will see the message “Summoned new Cat” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the tame ocelot has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.

Congratulations, you have summoned a tamed ocelot that acts like a cat in Minecraft.
