Stray Neko

Stray Neko · mob, trader · Catgirl & Catboy Mod

A Stray Neko is a cat-person the size of a player, with ears and a tail in one of five coats: black, white, ginger, gray or pink. It has 20 health and attacks no one.

Where it lives

It spawns alone inside villages in plains, sunflower plains, savanna, taiga, snowy plains, desert and meadow biomes. It doesn't despawn when you walk away.

Trades

Right-click it with anything except raw fish in your hand. There are no levels as with villagers. Each Stray Neko has 6 offers picked from this list:

Ears, common tails and collars can be bought 6 times each, fish 12 times, tuna, yarn and catnip 8 times. The stock doesn't refill. Each trade drops 3 to 6 experience.

Taming

Right-click it with Raw Cod or Raw Salmon. The fish is eaten and heals 1 heart, and one time in three the neko starts to trust you: hearts appear and a message says so. Smoke means it didn't work this time. Feed it another fish.

A tamed Stray Neko trades as before. It walks after its owner once they are more than 6 blocks away and stops at 3. It can't teleport, and beyond 32 blocks it stops following. At night it goes to a Cat Bed within 12 blocks and stays there until morning.

Kittens

Keep feeding a tamed Stray Neko. Every second fish brings a Kitten, but no more often than once in 5 minutes. The Kitten is already tamed to whoever fed the fish. Half the time it has the parent's coat, otherwise a random one of the eight.

Two Stray Nekos don't breed with each other.
