2. Feed The Cat Raw Fish

Now we have to feed the cat raw cod or raw salmon. In our example we use raw cod.

To feed the cat the fish, place it in your Hotbar and use the following in-game controls:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on the cat.
  • Pocket Edition (PE): Move the pointer over the cat and press the Tame button.
  • Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT Button
  • PS3, PS4: Press L2 Button
  • Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL Button

You may need to feed the cat more than one raw salmon or raw cod. Continue feeding the cat until red hearts appear around it.
