She is married to Red Forman (Kurtwood Smith). She is mother to daughter Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly), with whom she has a stressful relationship, and son Eric (Topher Grace), whom she has a habit of overprotecting, even to the point of saying that his girlfriend Donna Pinciotti seduced her "poor boy and tricked him into having sex with her."

She was the one who convinced Red for the family to take in Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson) when his mother left him. She likes to give off the appearance of goodness and be everyone's favorite mom in the neighborhood, but Kitty is somewhat of an alcoholic, with a passion for kahlua. Despite being a nurse and knowing the consequences of her actions, she is also a smoker, and has tried to quit more than once, but to no avail. Her mood swings are usually attributed to her menopause storyline.

Kitty's parents are Bea and Burt Sigurdson (played by Betty White and Tom Poston). They live in New Mexico but have appeared in a few episodes of the series that takes place in fictional Point Place, Wisconsin. Burt is a kind, laid back man who frequently tries to avoid his wife Bea, an aggressive, loud nightmare. To get away from Bea, Burt will occasionally step outside to have a cigarette, though he doesn't smoke. Whenever Bea is looking for Burt or trying to get his attention she will call his name soft and sweetly twice, to which Burt will ignore as if he hasn't heard her, Bea will then scream his name in a shrill blast of fury. She teaches this meathod to her grandson's girlfriend Donna. In the episode "Your Time Is Gonna Come" (which premiered on January 29, 2003), Burt and Bea arrive at the Forman's doorstep flat broke after Burt makes a financial blunder buying an ostrich farm next door to a coyote farm. At the end of the episode Burt is found by Eric unconscious on the drive way and later dies in the hospital.
