Okay, so... I've been building my own steading, so to speak, in a survival game. I've been playing on peaceful just so I can actually build and not worry about anything. I have avoided using creative to help me build anything. All the buildings and everything I have has been mine, smelted, placed, so on entirely in survival.
That being said, I'm now trying to get some ocelots. I caught 10 fish and went out to the neighboring jungle biome. Took forever to find one. I was crouched upon approaching with the raw fish already out. He runs away. I stop. He's still running away. I have to chase him for a bit to just give him the one fish. I get hearts! Nothing. Still wild. I give him five or six more fish, all resulting in hearts, and he is never tamed. I stumble upon another closer to my steading at the edge of the biome. He takes two fish and he's tamed.
So, here's where the fun begins. I decide, because of that one ocelot, I'll just go into creative, spawn one, and tame just one more. Just one. So I pin one in creative and just start clicking the left trigger. Nothing happens. I save a three stacks of fish in a chest and load back into the world in survival. Takes all three stacks and still nothing.
I start to wonder if I can't tame an animal I've spawned. So I spawn a wolf in creative and give myself a bone. Tame him after two bones.
So, again, does anyone know what is going on with these stupid cats?! I just wanna tame one more and the game is absolutely refusing to allow me to do it. Even when I'm doing it the right way, the ocelots are NOT responding like they're supposed to.
Oh...and isn't that notice of a game previously being saved in creative when you load into it in survival only supposed to pop-up once? Why am I getting that all the time again?
Any help on these would be sooooooo wonderful. Thanks!

I just loaded back into that game in survival and still had the pinned-up ocelot. Decided to give it another shot. It took 67 fish to finally tame it on this go around. BUT! If you think about it, it really took nearly 300 fish considering I used up all three stacks once before, the 67 this time, and all the times I clicked the left trigger while in survival to try and tame him. .... So it might be over 500 fish.
Can this be addressed?! I mean, I don't think it should take 67 damn fish to tame one freaking cat! Sheesh!

To tame on ocelot, it can't be trapped, it needs at least 7x7 blocks of free space. You can't be attacked by a monster when you tame it, and obviously, you can't chase after it. You'll need to go right up to it, and slowly feed it. And an ocelot can take up to 12 fish to be tamed.
But you said that you did crouch up to it, and tamed it the correct way. It sounds like the problem was that the pen was too small.
I suspect Woodblock is correct. Ocelots cannot "feel" trapped if they are to be tamed. Since you penned your ocelot, I suspect it felt trapped. There are also numerous other conditions - ALL of which must be met before taming will occur. They are listed on the Wiki page regarding ocelots. In short, taming ocelots is finicky business... It doesn't matter how many fish you give it - if you're not meeting one of the listed conditions in the Wiki, it just won't tame.
To WoodBlock and UpUp_Away, my second reply, just a few minutes later, tells the story. lol
ALSO! This is an edit.. After failing to get the pinned-up ocelot to become tamed from the fish, I then went back into the jungle with an extra stack of fish. Found one roaming around on its own. Fed it nearly the entire stack, crouched, fish-out, and waiting until it approached me. So...yeah...the pin had nothing to do with it.

The word is "penned" (unless, of course, you do mean that you were inserting sharp projectiles into it, which would be "pinned"). Secondly, the incident in the jungle is why I pointed you towards the Wiki... so you can note that there are a number of other conditions that can also cause taming of ocelots of fail on any given attempt (standing too close to the ocelot, standing too far away, approaching too quickly, etc.). If you truly believe it's a bug, the you should report it on the Official Bugs Thread.
