How to kill Ocelot
Nothing - no drops at all, just a little experience. An ocelot is worth infinitely more alive: creepers and phantoms flee from it.
Behavior
Shy: it sprints away from players who move too fast - approach crouching and still, raw fish in hand. Gain its trust with raw cod or salmon and it stops fleeing, though it never becomes a cat. Creepers stay 6 blocks away from ocelots (and phantoms too in Bedrock), making them living anti-creeper fences. They attack chickens and baby turtles.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed anymore since 1.14 - only trusted with raw cod or salmon. Breed two trusting ocelots with raw fish.
