Mojang and Microsoft are running a cat contest in Minecraft. Basically, it's a chance for one lucky player to have their very own feline added to the game. Here's how the competition came about:
Our excellent pixel artist, Jasper Boestra, has already designed loads of cute-tacular new cat skins that are coming to the game. But he was too lazy/untalented to make the final one. So that's where YOU come in!
All you have to do to enter is take a photo or video of the cat you think deserves to be in Minecraft, then share it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #Minecraftcatcontest
Submissions can be made until 12th November. After this, the game's community team will be deciding on the best three cats based on the following judging criteria:
- 33.3% Is the cat unique looking?
- 33.3% Could the cat be successfully rendered into Minecraft content?
- 33.3% Would the cat appeal to other Minecraft players?
The best three cats will then be posted on a social media site - to be announced - and the public will vote for their favourite entry by logging in. One vote is allowed per person and social media account, and the winning cat will be announced on 19th November. It will then be added to the game as part of the Village and Pillage update, arriving next year.
For more information about the competition, head over to the official rules page.
Will you be entering your cat in this Minecraft contest? Do you even like cats, or do prefer the company of other animals? Are you still enjoying Minecraft on the Switch? Tell us below.

Now I need a cat.
I like the cats but I wish both the cats and dogs were programmed a bit better. They can get killed so easily. Especially dogs...
Meh...
Blocky cats ??
They would need to make a new model for my cat. At 6.6kg he's a big boy, not fat just big.
What about the remaining .1%!?!? I'm totally lost and confused without the last bit of instruction!
I’d totally submit my cat if I actually had Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, lol.
Creative Mode, I need DRAGON compare like Lego Worlds.

@Reigestugatensho More like "Oh! I wanna take a bath in this random lava pit we found in the field!"
Gotta love those random lava fields
The principle is nice. It's a pity they do not offer it permanently
