Not to be confused with Kitty.

Template:Species-infobox Kittens are species that appear in 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, red, blue, black, and calico, each of them representing the different colors of the Maneki-neko (lucky cat), as well as the former four matching the Cat form colors of the playable characters in Super Mario 3D World other than Mario: respectively Luigi, Peach (although using a deeper shade of pink similar to Toadette's Cat form), Toad, and Rosalina.

Kittens are friendly and sometimes caress Mario (only in his Cat form), or relax and groom themselves. In addition, they can be picked up and carried by Mario. While they are carried, they will continuously scratch in front of them, destroying Brick Blocks and activating ? Blocks similar to Cat Mario's scratch. If Mario approaches them in any other form, they become frightened and try to avoid him. If a kitten is thrown into water or lava, they respawn at their original location. Kittens can also be seen playing with baseballs.

Although the plain-colored kittens serve no purpose in terms of completing objectives in the game, the calico kittens are actually missing offspring of calico cat parents that need to be returned to them to obtain Cat Shines. There are nine calico kittens in Lake Lapcat that Mario must return to their parents located in their respective regions: one near the Lakeside Giga Bell, three near the Ruins Giga Bell, and five near the Wasteland Giga Bell. Some are located close by while others require Mario to carry a kitten a great distance back to its parent.

While Fury Bowser is active, the kittens as well as the calico cat parents turn into dark versions of themselves that attack Mario.
