A Complete Catalogue
Tame all Cat variants!
Overview
A Complete Catalogue is a challenge advancement in the Husbandry tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Tame all Cat variants." It branches directly off Best Friends Forever, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Husbandry tab covers advancements related to farming, animal breeding, food, and the natural world. A Complete Catalogue was added in Minecraft 1.12 and remains part of the current 1.21 advancement set.
It is rated Expert difficulty on this site: extremely difficult challenges that require extensive game knowledge and dedication. Because it is flagged as a challenge advancement, completing A Complete Catalogue makes a special toast and a sound play, and its frame in the advancement screen is the magenta challenge style rather than a normal square. Challenges are the hardest tier and usually represent a milestone rather than routine progress. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.
In tree terms, A Complete Catalogue sits second along its line: the full path from the Husbandry root reads Husbandry -> Best Friends Forever -> A Complete Catalogue. That means 2 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and A Complete Catalogue is one of 26 total advancements in the Husbandry tab. It shares its parent with 2 sibling advancements (Good as New and The Whole Pack), all of which open from the same point in the tree.
