Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, often shortened to Bubsy, is a platform game developed by Accolade and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis in 1993. It is the first entry in the Bubsy series of video games. The game's title is a play on words in reference to the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with the game revolving around Bubsy defending the planet's supply of yarn balls from alien invaders.

The game was ported to Windows in 1997 under the title Super Bubsy. A sequel, Bubsy 2, was released in 1994.
