A Cat-O-9-Tails is a bizarre blue cat encountered in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

Cat-O-9-Tails are fairly rare enemies, only encountered in three of Donkey Kong Country 2's levels (namely Mudhole Marsh, Screech's Sprint and Fiery Furnace). If a Cat-O-Nine-Tails spots either Diddy or Dixie Kong it will attempt to spin into them and whip them with it's tails. The Kongs must avoid this attack and wait for a Cat-O-9-Tails to collapse from dizziness, it will then become vulnerable to being jumped on the head.

If the Kongs jump into a Cat-O-9-Tails from above while it is spinning they will end up being flung into the air. Also, while Cat-O-9-Tails is spinning, cartwheels are completely useless against it.

[edit] Trivia

  • Its name is derived from the whip called "cat o' nine tails", even though Cat-O-9-Tails actually has only seven tails.
