Why Creepers Fear Cats

phantoms being afraid of cats can be explained easily when you go to sleep (and have a tamed cat), there is a chance of the cat giving you a "gift" when you wake up one of those gifts is a phantom membrane, indicating that the cat may have killed a phantom so it's safe to assume that phantoms instinctively stay way from cats because they're their predators

I have recently became addicted to minecraft lore. I can't stop watching people like Dragonic,Gametheory,RetroGamingNow and Wifies

my guess is that the creators of the temples wanted to better defend themselves due to low resources, so they used magic to create creepers to act as a way to attack other places, and defend what they plundered. the cats acted as deterrent both because of their cultural importance and as a means to potentially herd creepers and prevent them backfiring. the spore releasing was likely just a way to create creepers without expending resources in artificial creation.

In the Egyptian ancient culture, cats are the guard of gates to afterlife/spirit realm. It is safe to assume that they are afraid of them because they came from the other side.

Looking at the symbols on chiseled sandstone upside down it kinda looks like: TBX (in galactic alphabet) which in swedish is a shortened version of: "Go back"

Also: you can find some gunpowder and sand inside the chests of the dessert temple

I think the clue is in "Great Sphinx of Giza" because there seems to be a cat temple standing on the side of the dessert temple. The cat temple is like the king of dessert temples where the creeper was made. This is probably the reason why the creeper is afraid of cats.

“Creepers hiss by making a hiss sound” Pretty explanatory totally since seemingly it’s the same thing as A baby is created by a baby not really

Him: creepers is a mutated pig Piglins: are we a joke to you?

"Creeper hiss by making hissing sound" Maybe the Sky is made out of Sky

Actually creepers have a blurry green vision and imagine you saw a Cat hissed at you while you have creeper vision , the cats can see in the dark by somehow making their eyes glow , this trick applies to scare other creatures too , so creepers May be scared of cats because of their blurry green vision

I think the creepers were made to defend desert temples since the recipe to make them is on chiseled sandstone bricks. But they escaped from there and started roaming in the wild, and they attack players to defend the desert temples. Since the creepers, a mutated pig, it could be possible that sense cats hunt, guinea pigs, creepers might be afraid that they will mistake them for a giant, guinea pig, so that’s why they’re scared of them

They're just allergic to cats

Dragonic: there's was only one other mob besides the crepper in the game that has fear of cats Phantoms: yes

I think that there were many groups of the Ancient Builders, like the ones that lived in the Ocean, In the Overworld, and the Desert. The people who lived in the Desert created the creepers for defense against the other civilizations. The creepers exploded and spread their spores. Later after the Plague with the Zombies, Skeleton, etc. The Ancient civilizations died and the creepers learned to live with the monsters that were now roaming the Minecraft world. So the Creeper also attacks you because he was also programmed to attack the other civilizations.

Your theory with the temple and tnt are really amazing bro! Also they are a moss like substance that canonly make spores to grow more reminds me of some horror apocalypse movie of some sort, would be cool if they somehow made this cannon, like growing new creepers in a sooner update.

Another theory: Creepers also drop music discs, I believe it's bcoz ancient builders wanted to store something in creepers with the help of music discs and they fear cats coz usually players have cats with them and then they can't get that info stored in the creepers

Imagine the minecraft devs saw this and was like: we just decided to make them fear cats bc we just wanted to lol

Well.. If u look closely in the sandstone (chiseled I think) you'll see what looks like the carved out face of a creeper therefore creeper were known then and could be a part of your point of being recreated and for the cats to be protected

Dragonic you have such great and perfectly believable theories!
