Start: Begin by speaking to Gertrude in her house west of Varrock.
Requirements: None!
What
You Need: About 100gp, Doogle Leaves, a Bucket, Raw Sardine and Milk.
Getting Started
First off, speak to Gertrude in her house west of Varrock and just south of Juliet's house (from the
Romeo and Juliet Quest). She says that she has lost her Cat and that her sons may know where she is. Before you leave, be sure to pick up some
Doogle Leaves from behind Gertrude's house, as you'll be needing them later on in the quest.
The Lumber Yard
You'll find both of Gertrude's sons Wilough and Shilop in the northwest corner of Varrock Square.
Talk to them and ask if they have seen the Cat. They will tell you that they saw the cat in their "secret hiding place." However,
if you ask them where their hiding place is, they'll refuse to tell you until you give them 100gp. The hiding place is in
the Lumber Yard just east of the Jolly Boar Inn (northeast of Varrock).
Once you find the Lumber Yard, you'll see an area enclosed by a fence. Climb over the Broken Fence on the southern
side to get inside, and then head north to a ladder. You will find Gertrude's Cat upstairs. Try to pick it up and it
will scratch you, taking 3 damage.
One Distressed Kitty...
First you'll find that the Cat is thirsty. Feed it a bucket of Milk to make it a bit happier, but it still seems
upset. Pick the Cat up again to get scratched and to learn that it's hungry. Either fish for a Sardine in the Ocean,
or buy 1 from the Port Sarim Fishing Shop. Use the Doogle Leaves with the Sardine to get a Seasoned Sardine, and then feed
it to the Cat.
Now go pick up the Cat once more, and you'll realize that it wants its Kitten. The Kitten should be in a box
a little to the northwest from where you are, but it may be in another crate. Just search the boxes in the Lumber Yard until
you find it. The Kitten will appear in your backpack. Bring it to Gertrude's Cat and it will walk home. Go back to Gertrude
for your reward. Congratulations, quest complete!
