Steps To Tame An Ocelot
1. Find An Ocelot To Tame
First we need to find a Minecraft ocelot to tame it. You can find them in the jungle biome, but if you’re in trouble, you can use a spawn egg or summon an ocelot.
2. Feed The Ocelot Raw Fish
Now we need to feed the ocelot raw cod or raw salmon. In our example we use raw salmon.
To feed the fish to the ocelot, you need to crouch, slowly walk towards him and stop. Place the fish in your Hotbar and use the following game controls:
- Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click and hold.
- Pocket Edition (PE): Hold down.
- Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press and hold the LT button
- PS3, PS4: Press and hold the L2 button

Once the ocelot is tamed, you will notice red hearts appearing around it.
Once the hearts disappear, you have a tamed ocelot that no longer runs away from you.
