The black cat is seen at the very beginning of ''Wario Land 4'' in the animation sequence before the file select screen. She can be seen crossing a road whilst [[Wario]] speeds towards her in his [[Wario Car]], almost hitting her. A newspaper flies into her face, which reads "''LEGENDARY PYRAMID DISCOVERED DEEP IN JUNGLE!! [[Legendary treasure]] nearly found, but accidents hindered findings''". | The black cat is seen at the very beginning of ''Wario Land 4'' in the animation sequence before the file select screen.

The cat is seen again on several instances throughout the game, such as in the boss corridor entering the [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]]. The cat also appears to have the ability to transform into other forms at will, namely the [[shop owner]] and its associated forms which can be purchased to assist in defeating a boss. The shop owner can only be seen transforming into the cat against the final boss, the [[Golden Diva]]. | ||
When the player faces the Golden Diva, the cat attempts to attack her, although it is ineffective. The Golden Diva then appears to swallow the cat, and the player proceeds with the boss fight. After the [[lips]] are defeated, the cat emerges, and she leads Wario out of the pyramid before it crumbles to the ground. After escaping, the cat transforms a final time into [[Princess Shokora]], who wears the Golden Diva's [[Legendary treasure|jewelery]]. After saying thank you and kissing Wario on the cheek, Princess Shokora is lifted into the sky by four cherubs. | When the player faces the Golden Diva, the cat attempts to attack her, although it is ineffective.
