'''Meowser''' is the name used for the [[Cat Mario|Cat form]] of [[Bowser]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Bowser obtains the form only once during the final battle in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]. He has white and orange fur with brown stripes similar to a tiger's, a ringed tail, cat ears instead of horns, whiskers, and his nose is black. His hair is colored red, white, and brown, and his shell appears to become more gray-blue, looking similar to [[Dry Bowser]]'s (but without red gaps). Even his trademark roar becomes different, giving off more of a meow-like sound. Additionally, he is larger than normal Bowser. Like [[Cat Goomba]]s and [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s, the form is more akin to a transformation than a suit. The name is a portmanteau of "Bowser" and "meow", the onomatopoeia for the sound that a cat makes.

During the final battle in ''Super Mario 3D World'', like Cat Mario, Meowser can climb walls and swipe his claws at his enemies. Unlike Cat Mario, however, his tail is large enough to whip, like [[Tanooki Mario]], as well as retaining his ability to breathe fire (though he uses this less often). After the the player(s) attack him with a [[POW Block]], Meowser uses the power of [[Double Cherry|Double Cherries]] to become '''[[Double Mario|Double Meowser]]''', spawning up to five doubles to fight them. The player cannot harm Meowser directly; the only way to finish the fight is to hit the Super POW Block four times at the top of the tower to defeat Meowser. The [[Clear Pipe]] to the [[Goal Pole]] will then be revealed.

The final boss battle against Meowser is reminiscent of the final boss battle against [[Wario]] at the end of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', where the final boss uses power-ups against the player. It is also similar to ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", where Bowser also uses power-ups against the Mario Bros. (though through the use of [[Power Pendant|a pendant]], rather than the power-ups themselves, and only in [[Earth|the Real World]]).

Meowser can walk on all-fours and will start breathing fireballs when the player gets close to him, like with normal Bowser, the size of the fireballs are larger if Meowser is given a [[Super Mushroom]]. He can also sometimes breathe 3 fireballs in a circular motion.

Meowser can also roll off the ground and climb up onto the surface behind the player or slide near the player.

If the player gives Meowser wings, he can flutter for a little bit. Sometimes when he jumps off, he will flutter behind the background and breathe fireballs through there.

Like with normal Bowser, Meowser is immune to jump attacks and will be defeated if he gets hit 20 times, whether they are through fireballs or with certain items; if Meowser is giant-sized, he can be defeated in 40 hits. As [[Builder Mario]], he can be defeated in 7 hits. With a POW Block, he will be defeated in 2 hits. He will be defeated instantly if a [[Thwomp]] hits him or if the player runs through him while under the effects of a [[Super Star]]. Giant items can double the amount of damage on him as well. If Meowser is defeated, he falls down and leaves behind [[fireworks]], unlike in the original game where he is blown away before exploding.
