If I wanted to take a cat over an ocean, would it teleport behind my boat?
I found this on the Minecraft Wiki page for Ocelots:
A cat will not teleport: [...]
- If none of the blocks on the edge of a 5×5×1 region centered on the player are transparent blocks with an opaque block below and another transparent block above.
Does this mean that if I tame a cat (which is not sitting), and boat across an ocean, the cat will be on the beach and not teleport near the water? If cats swim, will they drown after a while in the water, even if I use a lead?
Best Answer
I tested it, and no the pet does not teleport behind your boat. but he does swim behind you if you use a lead. (only if the bottom of the ocean is not deep. that's about 2 blocks high. Otherwise, your pet will drown.)

They do not despawn, no longer fear the player and purr or meow frequently. Like wolves, and with the same limits, they can teleport to a player who moves 12 blocks away.How far can a cat teleport?
Cats can teleport. That's right: our furry feline friends now have the ability to be in one corner of a room and then magically appear on the other side of the room in the blink of an eye.Kings Of Convenience - Misread

Answer 2
Use a lead (requires some string and one slimeball) to pull animals behind the boat. You can pull more than one at the same time.
