Cat quest runescape update#
This same update added a right-click "Kitten" option on Gertrude to buy one without needing to go through any dialogue. An update to Oldschool Runescape added a message to the chat box for these warnings should the player miss them, and another update in early August 2017 coloured the text red. Players will receive two warnings in the form of a dialogue before this happens-one stating that the kitten is hungry or wants attention and another afterwards stating that it is very hungry or is lonely. This will happen if 30 minutes pass without giving the kitten food, or a similar amount of time (it seems to have some random variation) for lack of interaction. They take three hours to grow, and during this time they will run away if too much time passes without being fed or interacted with. Unlike other pets, kittens grow and will need to be fed and interacted with while out in the world (not in item form in the bank or inventory). The maintenance for a kitten is comparatively minimal for the latter reward, offering low-level players and Ironmen an easy source of death runes outside of the Barrows or having to buy them. You cannot sell kittens to Civilians, they must be raised to the Cat form. Kittens are raised by some players, especially Ironmen, to sell to Civilians in West Ardougne for death runes - 100 normally, 200 with the Easy Ardougne Diary completed. After Icthlarin's Little Helper, an extra dialogue option is added which allows the player to review some events of the quest. The kitten's responses are chosen from a random list of phrases, unless they are very hungry or lonely, in which case their dialogue will reflect this. The responses are noticeably more child-like than grown cats, and Hell-kittens' responses are more devilish. Kittens may be spoken to with a Catspeak amulet. Any colour of kitten can be turned into a generic Hellkitten by chasing the hell-rats in Evil Dave's basement, or morphed back into its original colour by feeding it a bucket of milk. Otherwise, players will be given a kitten of a random colour.

If players have an activated ring of charos, obtained during the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest and then activated during the Garden of Tranquility quest, they are able to charm Gertrude into allowing them to choose their own colour. Their first kitten is free, and each kitten after that is 100 coins, but players cannot own more than one kitten at a time. In order to obtain a pet cat, a player must complete the Gertrude's Cat quest and get a kitten from Gertrude. (Overgrown) Cats are pets that can follow the player. (Overgrown)Ī friendly, not-so-little pet. This cat is so well fed it can hardly move.
