Mama Play is the suspected mother of Ms. Play and can be found at the 吉他猫一机器猫 (Guitar Cat & Robot Cat) feeder. She went unidentified for several days after the feeder's discovery, due to Auntie looking after Ms. Play and leading viewers to suspect that she was "Mama" Play. After more sightings and further consideration, Mama Play was determined to be the likely biological mother to Ms. Play.

Behavior

Mama Play is a very independent cat. She can be social and friendly with the other cats, although she can be a bit feisty over food. Many attempts to get her to come to the dispenser have gone ignored by the strong female, however, before she learned to love snacks. She can often be seen next to the feeder from the top view, as she watches over Ms. Play, who certainly keeps her busy. When she needs some time to herself, Auntie looks after the baby, grooming her and making sure she doesn't get into any trouble. Mama Play was also spotted being friendly with the caretaker of the feeder, indicating that she trusts them and is taken care of.

Mama Play baps Mr. Latency for getting too close to her breakfast!

Mama Play is a Calico cat with a large brown patch down her back, a small orange patch on her left shoulder and white on her sides. She could be described as a Dilute Calico[1].
