Taming possible, must have all these possibilities:
-Any kind of fish (Uncooked)
-The ocelot must be free roaming and not in an enclosed area. I recommend a 7 by 7 space.
-The player must be standing still, and not moving.
-The ocelot must first slowly approach the player before it can become a tamed ocelot.
-When feeding, the player must not move their mouse too quickly.

I know how to tame ocelots. The fact is that they won't turn into cats. i
fed the ocelot 1 stack of 64 raw fish and it would not become tame.

We are having the same issue in my server, ocelots will get the hearts but will not become tamed cats. Stacks of fish were used, and only red hearts appear for a few minutes then disappear, but never turn into tame cats.

As some people still don't get how to tame ocelots here is a very helpfull video tutorial on how to do it right: click!

Comment by Chalmes (Jon) [ 29/Oct/12 ]

And you've seen the following in the wiki re: taming?

To tame an Ocelot, the player must be holding raw fish while standing perfectly still and not looking around too quickly. They are not attracted by milk. This will not work with cooked fish at all, as the Ocelot will then run away from the player. When the food is held, it will slowly approach the player, and when it stops, and turns slightly, right-clicking raw fish on the Ocelot will tame it. In some cases you will need more than five raw fish.

It can be tricky sometimes.
