A '''Cat O' 9 Tails''' (also stylized '''Cat o' 9 tails''', '''Cat-O´-9-Tails''',<ref name="manual">{{cite|author=Nintendo|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1995|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=31}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2'' GBA instruction booklet|page=24|language=en-us|date=2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo}}</ref> '''Cat-O’-Nine-Tails''',<ref>{{cite|date=December 1995|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 79|page=24|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and '''Cat {{'}}O{{'}} Nine Tails'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 36|page=20|date=March 1996}}</ref>) is a type of [[List of enemies|enemy]] ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Its name is derived from a type of whip (mentioned in-game by [[Klubba]]) known as the "{{wp|cat o' nine tails}}", possibly also deriving from the well-known saying of cats having "nine lives." They initially appear sitting in place, licking one of their paws. 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. Being hit head-on will usually damage the Kongs, but by jumping into one, they may instead end up caught in the tails. If the Kongs are caught by one of the tails as they are spinning around, the Cat O' 9 Tails flings them upwards. Though this can allow the Kongs to collect out-of-reach items, this can also put them in danger of flying into certain hazards. Cat O' 9 Tails are invulnerable to attack while they spin around, but after several seconds of spinning, a Cat O' 9 Tails becomes dizzy, leaving them vulnerable to being defeated by either being [[stomp]]ed or rolled into.
