About Minecraft cat names
Minecraft has eleven cat coats: tabby, tuxedo, red, Siamese, British Shorthair, calico, Persian, ragdoll, white, black and Jellie, the gray and white cat added after a community vote. Strays wander villages, and a black cat spawns with every swamp hut. Win one over with raw cod or raw salmon and it becomes yours, complete with a collar you can dye.
A tamed cat earns its keep. Creepers and phantoms keep their distance from cats, which makes a named cat by the door a real part of your base defense. Cats also sit on chests, beds and lit furnaces at the least helpful moments, and sometimes leave a gift beside you when you wake up. All of that is naming material, which is why this list has names like Creeper Repellent, Chest Blocker, Morning Gift and Sir Sits on Chests next to coat names such as Tuxedo Tim and Swamp Hut Salem.
Ocelots are covered too. Since the Village and Pillage update they no longer turn into cats, but feeding one fish makes it trust you, so names like Ocelittle and Trust Issues fit a jungle base. To use any name, rename a name tag at an anvil, then use the tag on your cat.
How to choose Minecraft cat names
- Name by coat first. A tuxedo, a calico and a Jellie in the same base are easier to tell apart when the name hints at the coat.
- Give your base guard a job title. A cat stationed at the door suits something like No Boom Zone or Doorstep Sentinel.
- Keep it short enough to read above a small mob. Two or three words show clearly, and long jokes are best saved for a cat that sits still.
- Tell a named cat to sit before you head into the mines. Standing cats follow and teleport after you, and a cave is no place for a pet.
- Pair names across pets. A cat called Sir Codsworth and a dog with a matching title make a base feel lived in.
Frequently asked questions
How do I name a cat in Minecraft?
Put a name tag in an anvil, type the name and take the renamed tag, which costs one experience level. Then use the tag on your cat and the name appears above it. Name tags cannot be crafted, so look for them in loot chests, by fishing or in trades with librarian villagers.
What are good names for a Jellie cat?
Jellie is the gray and white coat, so soft, sweet names suit it. The list includes Jellie Bean, Jellie Roll, Little Jellie and Judge Jellie, and a name such as London Fog also fits a gray cat.
Do cats really scare creepers?
Yes. Creepers avoid cats and ocelots and will move away from them, and phantoms keep their distance from cats as well. That is the idea behind names like Creeper Repellent, Boom Blocker and Phantom Swatter.
Can I still tame an ocelot?
Not into a pet cat. Since the Village and Pillage update, feeding an ocelot raw cod or raw salmon makes it trust you, so it stops running away, but it stays a wild ocelot. You can still use a name tag on it, and names like Ocelittle, Jungle Prowler and Trust Earned are there for that.
