Rare Bobtail Cat Variant with Inherited Trait and Exploration Behavior

Add a rare natural variant of the existing cat mob called the Bobtail Cat, which has a short “bobbed” tail and unique behavioral traits. It functions as a variation of the current cat system, not a new mob type. 🌍 Natural Generation Spawns extremely rarely in villages Appears as part of normal cat spawning, but with a low chance to be bobtail Keeps all normal cat behaviors (sitting on beds, scaring creepers, tamable) 🧬 Breeding & Inheritance System If one parent is a bobtail cat, there is a small chance (~10%) the kitten will also be bobtail If both parents are bobtail cats, the chance increases This allows the trait to naturally pass through generations without guaranteeing it 🐾 Explorer Behavior (Tamed Bobtail Cats) When tamed, bobtail cats may occasionally display curiosity-based movement: Slowly walk toward nearby points of interest such as: villages abandoned villages desert temples jungle temples ruined portals Behavior is subtle and natural (no UI markers or compass) They may pause, wait for the player, then continue moving 🌟 Purpose of the Feature Adds rare discovery moments in villages Encourages exploration in a natural way Creates emotional attachment through unique pets Expands animal variation without changing core mechanics Fits Minecraft’s existing cat system and rarity structure
