[1.16.4+] Request to add cat food

Description
Love that there are dog and horse food items with buffs. Would love to see the same with cat food as well, for our furry little creeper reppellers! It would probably be something with fish and/or chicken (perhaps minced), broth (like bone), and maybe a little grain like rice. :)

Hello! Glad to know these two items are seeing use x)
I thought about cat food, but given they're more of a household pet, I couldn't see many advantages or effects they could use from a custom food. These foods are designed to enhance the pet's strengths when going out, for the most part.
I can take a shot sometime. If you have ideas for what it could do, feel free to suggest. ๐Ÿ‘

I go caving with cats to avoid creepers, but sometimes the cats wander just far enough away (because pets like to wander) allowing a creeper to get through to me. I've definitely gone caving with several cats at once and it gets a little nutty.

Maybe the cat food increases the range at which creepers will stay away from them for a set duration. Or feeding it to them gives the player a short creeper repellent effect. Not sure if any of this would be possible but would be fun!

That's such an interesting use case! Always cool to hear other strategies, it didn't cross my mind. ๐Ÿ˜„
I can put some thought on it, though it sounds a bit tougher to implement the current ideas. Thanks for sharing anyway!

Perhaps instead of creeper repel range, it provides the 'glowing status effect' on nearby creepers for a set duration, allowing the player to see them outlined through blocks. Ringing a bell applies this effect to illagers within 32 blocks, so it may be possible to use this method to target a different mob type like creepers. Just a thought!

Another idea for a cat treat is a chance to invoke the cat's gift behavior (which normally occurs 70% of the time when a tamed cat wakes up along with its owner). I can see this being particularly useful for 1.17, because rabbit hide is in the cat gift loot table.
