1. Name tags
Whenever you tame your wolf/ocelot it would be nice if you could name it and it having a proportionally sized name tage over it so you know which of your pets is which.
2. Health bars
I hate that whenever my pets are hurt you have no idea how much health they have left and due to this they oftenly get killed after wards easly. Next/above/below/anywhere the name tag would be a proportionally displayed health bar that shows how much health your pet has left so if you see it hurt you can easly heal it before it gets harmed even more.
This are really small but nifty features that could be added which wouldn't take much work to code in so they could add it in the future if not the next update, if enough people agree on the idea. Remember, it's small details like these that make your experience in-game more interesting.
So let me know what you guys think, would you support this idea?
Thank you for taking your time to read this thread. Sincerly, Mihajlo.
EDIT: Since people only seem to like the name tag idea, please ignore the health bar proposition. Thank you.
The tails are more than enough than to tell their health. I like wolfs, so the name is okay..And cats are just useless and annoying, I never waste food with them.
Ah I see, kinda forgot about that. But I think name tags would make the pets come alive more, I dunno I just think it would be a nifty feature. Besides, if you look at mods which add tamable mods every single one has integrated name tags and a naming system to the tamable mobs.
That's a bit inconvinient to check their hp, I think a health bar would be easier and more efficient.
I know, just pointing it out there.
Would the name tags only be visable to the owner or everybody? And I think if someone rightclicks a wolf that is not their's it should say something like, "That is [Owner's Name Here]'s dog!"
Name tags are a nice idea (especially if they are visible to other players, like maybe having the owner's name in smaller letters under the animal's name if it isn't yours).
What I'd really like for the pets, though, is something that will tell ALL your animals to sit or ALL of your animals to stop sitting. A command would be nice, but even if it's like a whistle or item of some sort that helps, that would be good. (Maybe with a distance restriction, like "hearing range" of the whistle or command.) It would help out when you're about to go near something dangerous that the animals like to jump into (lava, cacti, cliffs, etc.) so you don't have to chase them all down individually and then have to get them all up individually again after you're done with whatever is near the dangerous items.
Well, slightly changed the OP. And I haven't really thought about other players seeing it's name tag and who owns it, that sounds like a preety neat idea. Perhaps instead of floating name tags and who owns it, if you right click the pet with no items in your hand a little message would show up saying the pet's name, owner's name and perhaps even how much hp it has. I think that might be better then my original idea. What ya think?

I still like the idea of name tags as long as only the owner can see them. Perhaps when you right click it it says "(Owner)'s Dog/Cat, (Number) HP"
Having nametags visable to EVERYONE would make it so anyone can easily find them, wich on a server it can be bad alot of time, because for some reason people enjoy killing pets. :/
Yeah, people are sadistic like that. Hm, how about this, name tag only visible to the owner, but if anyone right clicks it, it says the pet's name, owner's name and hp. How's that sound?
