Its name is derived from a type of whip known as the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}}, possibly also deriving from the well-known saying of cats having "nine lives."

If a Cat O' 9 Tails notices [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], it begins to rapidly twirl and move around, attempting to whip both [[Kong]]s with its many tails.
