This Minecraft tutorial explains the spawn events that you can use for a cat in Minecraft Bedrock Edition (PE, Win10, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch) and Education Edition.

Background

In the latest version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Education Edition, the entity value for a cat is cat. The cat entity has a unique set of spawn events that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /event. (The spawn event parameter is called spawnEvent in the Minecraft help for the /summon command and eventName in the Minecraft help for the /event command.)

What is a Spawn Event?

Spawn events allow you to trigger certain in-game events for an entity in Bedrock Edition (PE, Win10, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch) and Education Edition. Currently, you can only trigger one spawn event at a time when you use the /summon or /event commands.

List of Spawn Events
