Mother Cat

"The true queen of all felis alike." -Kitty Trophy

Mother Cat is a pre-hardmode boss. She is a later boss in pre-hardmode, spawning when HP is above 220 and can also be spawned using the Hairball Fossil. She has a Mewmas staff, 45 damage (70 expert) plus 10 extra for Royal Mewmas, and a Mother Paw. Killing her will start the Purraissance, where cat spawn rates double. This lasts for 2 days.

Mother Cat will play music Boss 2 when alive.

Spawn
Mother Cat can be summoned with Hairball Fossil, but can also spawn normally if conditions are met:

- The player has at least 220 HP and 10 defense- There are 5 housed NPCs

When the Mother Cat is spawned naturally, it will send a status message: "You feel the wind blowing harder and harder.." After 90 seconds since the message's appearance, Mother Cat will spawn and attack. Mother Cat can be fought and spawned at any time.

Behavior
Mother Cat has 2 phases. During the first, it shoots 4-5 purple orbs out of the Mewmas. After that, it chases the player with its other hand and then repeats the cycle. Destroying the Mewmas is not possible, but when the Mother Paw is destroyed, her defense drops to 10 (20 expert).

When Mother Cat reaches 55% (62% expert) health, it goes into its second phase. She will grow her fur, ears and whiskers and she will wield the Royal Mewmas, and starts spawning Cat Pawns which always drop hearts (none in expert). She will move faster and will start shooting the Royal Mewmas at the player. Mother Cat will grow defense to 9999 if she is 55% (62% expert) health and Mother Paw is undefeated.

In expert mode, her cat pawns will move faster, and her paw will always inflict Bleeding.

Achievement
Feline Frenzy - "Defeat the Mother Cat, queen of felines." Defeat the Mother Cat for the first time.
