Gertrude's Cat

Gertrude & The Beginning
Speak to Gertrude (her house is just west of Varrock) and she will tell you that she has lost her cat named Fluffs. While you're there, pick up one doogle leaf from behind her house. She asks you to go and ask two children in Varrock Square named Shilop and Wilough.

Talk to either Shilop or Wilough and they will tell you about their secret playground but they will not give the location until they get something in return. Give them 100 coins.

After that head for the Lumber Yard which is north-east of Varrock.

The Secret Playground (Lumber Yard)
Once at the lumber yard there is a broken fence that has the command "squeeze under fence" when clicked on. This is on the west side of the lumber yard. There are several crates in the yard have cats inside them which are constantly "jiggling" but none of them are Gertrude's cat. Head to the middle of the yard and climb up a ladder. Players can find Gertrude's cat but you can't pick it up as it refuses to move. Use the Bucket of Milk on it. Try and pick it again. It will still refuse to move. Use the Raw Sardine on it. It doesn't want it. If the player already has the doogle leaf (they can be found behind Gertrude's house), it can now be used on the sardine to make a "doogle sardine." The player should use this item with the cat. If the player do not have the leaf yet, they can head back to Gertrude's house to get one.

Feline Rescue
Use the Doogle Sardine with Gertrude's cat. Try and pick her up again and she still refuses to move. It says that she can hear kittens somewhere. Remember the meowing kittens in the crates earlier? Climb down the ladder and search the jiggling crates. This may take a long time. Just be patient and try every crate until you find three little kittens. The kittens will be in different crates for different players. Go back to Gertrude's Cat and use it with her. She'll run back home to Gertrude's house. Return to Gertrude to claim your reward (a pet kitten and some food).

Trivia

 * After completing this quest, and Rat Catchers, Gertrude's cat can be found in the Varrock Rat Pits 'catching some tail'.


 * The name Gertrude has close resemblance to Gertrude Of Nivelles [626-March 17,659] who was a saint and patron of cats.
