Meowmaid
Meowmaid is a type of cat robot that works for Francis in Super Paper Mario that appears in Fort Francis. They are not enemies to Mario and the other heroes, but rather cats that just hang out in Fort Francis and talk. As their name suggests, Meowmaids are the maids of Francis. There are also large versions of Meowmaids called BigMeows.
They talk a lot about "Starship X-Naut" and about Francis' comic books. Meowmaids and SecuriMeows are the only cats that Francis has that do not attack Mario, Bowser, Princess Peach, or Luigi. All of the Meowmaids but one (who even then does not perform harmful actions) mistake the heroes for Francis, calling them "Master" and treating them as such. Each Meowmaid has different responsibilities, evidenced by their Tippi tattle descriptions.
Tattle[edit]

- This Meowmaid stores and catalogues all of Francis's anime shows... It spends its afternoons updating the video database and making new videos... At night, it spends hours moving Francis's old videos to digital form...
- This Meowmaid orders and organizes all of Francis's video games... It organizes every game in order of how much Francis complained about them...
- This Meowmaid manages Francis's towering collection of books and comics... It puts a plastic cover on every comic without ever touching the comic itself... It's usually really snarky, but it becomes sweet as a kitten around Francis...
