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 affectionately rub against Mario if he is in his Cat form. If Mario approaches them in any other form, however, they become frightened and try to avoid him. 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 a kitten is thrown into water or lava, they respawn at their original location. Kittens can be seen relaxing and groom themselves, or playing with baseballs. If Mario attacks the kitten, it doesn't take any damage and colorful confetti flies.
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.
Aside from the calico kittens, there are about 41 kittens in Bowser's Fury. Four in Scamper Shores, Four also in Scamper Shores, but at the higher hill, Four behind Fort Flaptrap, Four at Pounce Bounce Isle before the Lighthouse Cat Shine, Four in Roiling Roller Isle, Four on Mount Magmeow, Three at the top of Pipe Path Tower, and Fourteen around the Ruins Giga Bell.
While Fury Bowser is active, the kittens and the calico cat parents become corrupted and attack Mario, regardless of his form.
