This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
Calico cat parents are the parents of the calico kittens found in Lake Lapcat in Bowser's Fury. Three different parents appear in the game, with one being found near each of the three Giga Bells. When Mario first encounters one, it is shown crying, due to its kittens having gone missing. The parent by the Lakeside Giga Bell has one kitten, the parent by the Ruins Giga Bell has three, and the parent by the Wasteland Giga Bell has five. Similarly to the mission Li'l Penguin Lost in Super Mario 64, Mario must find the calico kittens within the parent's region and carry each one back to it. A counter over the parent's head signifies how many kittens are left to be returned. For each kitten other than the last that is returned to its parent, Mario earns three coins, and after returning the last kitten, he earns a Cat Shine as a reward. From then on, the parent can be seen smiling and purring with its kittens instead of crying. When Mario completes mission to find the lost kittens, the cats will be there at the time, but the next time the scene is loaded, the calico cat parent and its kittens will disappear from the island. If Mario or Bowser Jr. attacks a calico cat parent, it does not take damage, and confetti appears instead.
Like their kittens, calico cat parents become corrupted while Fury Bowser is active and attack Mario.
