Kitten

Cats are major entities appearing in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, more precisely in the addition Bowser's Fury. They can be seen on most of the various islands composing Lake Lapcat, an archipelago dedicated to them. They exist in five different colors: green, magenta, blue, black, and, each of them representing the different colors of the  (lucky cat) as well as matching the Cat form colors of the playable characters in Super Mario 3D World other than Mario (except the calico): respectively Luigi, Peach (although using a deeper shade of pink), Toad, and Rosalina. These cats are friendly and sometimes caress Mario, or relax and groom themselves. In addition, they can be picked up and carried by Mario.

While Fury Bowser is active, the cats turn into dark versions of themselves. In this state, they are black with red eyes and ears, have spiked fur on their heads and backs, and have a red aura emanating from them. When Mario comes near one of them, it will dash towards him.
