I think Jeb should make it so you can get claws by killing a Ocelot or a tamed cat so that way they would have a better use than just being pretty and scaring creepers. With those claws you could craft chain mail armor as normal recipes with the claws. This would also make it so chain mail armor isn't unobtainable (Until 1.3 where you can trade with villagers, but it would STILL be really rare then and not worth traveling miles and trading so much to get it). Also you should be able to cut a cats claws with shears and get its claws. The cat could also have like visible claws on its feet that go away when you use shears on it. The claws could regain too but make it take maybe a day to regain. If you think this is overpowered consider how rare ocelots are and how ineffective chain mail armor is.
Also with the claws you could make 4 throwing daggers with a stick and a claw on top: X= empty C=claw S=stick

These throwing daggers would do as much damage as a fully charged bow and can stack to 64. They would travel half as fast and can be thrown by right clicking with them in your hand. If you miss it will do the same as a bow and just stick where it is thrown. These daggers also can be used as a melee weapon and would do as much damage as an iron sword (Note that each hit will remove one from the stack). These daggers can also be enchanted with Returning enchant (It will allow the dagger to be used 20 more times per level) and sharpness (It will increase damage by 1-2 hearts per level). These daggers would have the texture of an arrow stick with a white slightly curved small blade on the other end.
Please tell me what you think and if you think anything is overpowered.
i find the only use wolves have is to have fun watching them suicide jump... cats however are good for irritating people in multiplayer who are attempting to open a chest.

Wolves are great for protecting you especially when mining and that second part is of no use and just trolling. Now stop this because we are getting off topic.

AND NOTCH ISN"T WORKING ON MINECRAFT ANYMORE! It's Jeb.
And there should be a little minigame for dismembering the ocelot, too.
Also its not "just because" anything. There is many reasons for the stuff so don't be such a jerk about it.
