The Wasteland Area in Bowser's Fury is home to four courses: Roiling Roller Isle, Risky Whisker Island, Pipe Path Tower, and Mount Magmeow. Each course has 5 Cat Shines to find and collect. This area will be closed off and covered in goop until you've defeated Bowser three times.
Roiling Roller Isle Cat Shines
Cat Shine #1 - Make the Lighthouse Shine
Progress to the end of the level and you'll find this Cat Shine #1 near the lighthouse.
Climb your way up to the lighthouse at the top of the lava obstacle course. There are two rotating lava pillars you'll need to carefully time your jumps to reach the top of. Cat Mario makes this much easier. At the top you'll find Cat Shine #1.
Cat Shine #2 - Hurry! Hot Cross Run!
At the start of the area, there will be a purple switch. Hit it to spawn some blocks that lead a path to Cat Shine #2. You'll have to carefully navigate these blocks (they are over lava) and use the rotating pillar to your left. If you are having trouble, try to time the rotating pillar so that you can stay on it for longer to reach the further blocks.
Cat Shine #3 - Key to the Cat Shine
You'll need to find the key and unlock the cage at the start of the level to get this Cat Shine. They key isn't hard to find, it's at the end of the level next to the lighthouse. You can use a propeller hat to get there quickly. The tricky part is bringing it back to the start of the level without falling in the lava. Tanooki Mario is very helpful here. Once the cage is unlocked, you'll get Cat Shine #3.
Cat Shine #4 - Five Cat Shine Shards
Collect the five Cat Coins in the level to collect Cat Shine #5. Here's a detailed guide for the 5 Cat Coins.
Cat Shine #5 - Blast the Fury Blocks
On the back side of the main tower you'll find a set of Fury Blocks at the bottom near the water. There are several small platforms around it. During Bowser's Fury, have him blow them up with a fireball and you can grab Cat Shine #5.
Risky Whisker Island Cat Shines
Cat Shine #1 - Fury Shadow Hops to It
Head to the start of the level and Shadow Luigi will appear. Chase him around the platform and attack him with any power-up. Once defeated, you'll get Cat Shine #1.
Cat Shine #2 - Feasting on Fuzzies
Press Y to grab one of the Potted Piranha Plants scattered around this level. Walk around the course while holding them and they will gobble up the Fuzzies. Eat them all up to get Cat Shine #2.
Cat Shine #3 - Hurry! Hop behind the Wall!
Head back to the start of the level. You'll find a purple switch that you can ground pound. It will summon a course leading to Cat Shine #3 behind a wall of grey bricks. Quickly navigate the course to get to it. Using Cat Mario makes it much easier.
Cat Shine #4 - Five Cat Shine Shards
Collect the five Cat Coins in the level to collect Cat Shine #5. Here's a detailed guide for the 5 Cat Coins.
Cat Shine #5 - Blast the Fury Blocks

Pipe Path Tower Cat Shines

The position of the coins should reveal the best path. If you collect them all quick enough Cat Shine #2 will appear.
Cat Shine #3 - Key to the Cat Shine

Cat Shine #2 - Atop Mount Magmeow
This Cat Shine will change the obstacles of this course quite radically. There will now be purple piranha plants spread throughout the level.
