"cat" refers to both a song composed by C418, and a music disc that plays the song when inserted in a jukebox. The music disc is obtained from creepers killed by skeletons, or from various structures, where it is commonly found in monster rooms and woodland mansions.

Obtaining

Mob loot

When killed by any skeleton, stray, or bogged (or wither skeleton if given a bow using commands), a creeper drops a random music disc, which has a 1/12 chance to be "cat".

Because TNT ignited by a flaming arrow attributes all resulting kills to the entity that fired the arrow, a skeleton igniting a TNT block due to holding a bow enchanted with Flame, or shooting through lava or fire, also causes any creepers killed in the explosion to drop a disc.[1][2]

“Cat” is a whimsical little track. People seem to like it a lot! I don’t know why!

 „
— C418 on c418.org

"cat" is composed of an inquisitive, playful tune played on warm, bubbly synths, which are later joined by chiptune-like synths and soft synth percussion. The piece is very upbeat and hopeful compared to other tracks, but it has a wistful undertone. At 1:46, what sounds like an interpolation of part of the melody from the track Minecraft plays.

The four-note pattern at 2:04 can also be heard at the beginning of "far" and "Dog".

Exclusively on Legacy Console Edition, "Dog" is appended to the "cat" music disc. Once "cat" is done playing and fades out, "Dog" begins playing for another two minutes or so, making the Legacy Console Edition version of "cat" the longest music disc in the game.

Usage

Like all music discs, using the "cat" music disc on a jukebox causes the jukebox to play the song.

If the player places a redstone comparator besides a jukebox playing "cat", it will emit a redstone signal of 2.
