Beckoning Cat works for me. I think that would be awesome. Plus if it were a little bit magical, it could do things like open its eyes, eat fish, and ward off spiders. IATLTG (I am too lazy to Google it), but the Maneki Neko was purported to ward off evil spirits, right?

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.
Heh. I actually like this idea. Not so much a mob as a block. But I do think it should have a minor purpose, at least.
Some thoughts:
1) Cats placed in a room will "protect" the space within about 6 blocks in any direction, barring a wall in the way. Protect, in this case, I would define as "not letting mobs spawn." So that, when you place a cat, the room they are in (well, my rooms) would be free of mobs, including pigs/sheep/cows, even if there was grass on the floor.
2) Place a Cat Block. Randomly, while you sleep, it will deal 1/2 heart damage to you and wake you up. (And, no, this isn't a stereotype. I have three friends whose cats do this on a weekly basis).
3) Place a Cat Block. Randomly, while you sleep, if there is a hole to the outside (Cat door), they will drop mob-dropped items in front of their block. So, you live near a spider dungeon? Well, you get a crapload of string. Or, one string, but every once in a while.
And if the third choice was chosen, the cat would have to meow proudly whenever it got something. Then you'd have to give it a fish or it deals damage for stealing its kill. (Also based on a real-life series of experiences)
Ok, as much as I HATE this idea (semi sarcastic, I really don't care). it seems like the perfect thing to start learning how to mod so I'll try and make it.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

I basically agree with you. I just haven't seen a purpose for cats that A) makes sense for a cat, and :cool.gif: isn't something that wolves already do, and C) isn't something that another different mob would make more sense doing.

not a bad idea. My only problem with it is that I kind of like the image of sheep and cows hanging around with the barnyard cat.

I like the idea. I have a cat that deals damage to me from under the bed just when I'm getting into bed. But I think it would be too annoying for most players.

I think free items are a little bit dubious. The cat door idea needs work.

I don't even know how this would work with a block. I think we're getting into mob territory here. It would confuse players I think.

I would love it, but can you please just make it so that they're actual animals?
Well, the point of the suggestion in the OP, indeed the reason that I made this a new thread, rather than posting on the many existing cat threads, was that an actual animal just wouldn't be original enough. But I wish all the luck to anyone who asks for/mods in a cat mob.

So... When I walk in my cozy little cabin i will see a random cat block staring me down?
I guess it depends on implementation, but no, I think the cat will be asleep. It will only open its eyes when you wake it up. And it probably shouldn't spawn spontaneously in people's houses, you'll have to find one in the wild and bring it back and place it in your home.

I have a few cats at my house, so I love this idea.

Fair enough. That's your opinion. Let me ask you this then: how do you think a cat mob would be different from a re-skinned wolf?

This guy does a pretty good job explaining what they would be like.
Mob detection (or perhaps just movement in general so it could work with the destruction/placement/movement of blocks) ftw.
although at that point, it would probably make more sense for it to look like literally anything besides a cat.
I don't know.
