Kitten (Gertrude’s Cat)
Kitten (Gertrude’s Cat)
Kitten is a friendly non-player character (NPC) found in the world of Gielinor. Belonging to Gertrude, a character known for her love of cats, Kittens are small, playful felines that players can acquire in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) through specific actions and quest completions.
Location
Kitten can be obtained by talking to Gertrude, who resides in a cottage located in the western part of Varrock, just south of the south-east Varrock Mine. Gertrude can be identified by her distinctive red dress and her warm demeanor.
Acquiring a Kitten
To obtain a Kitten, players must complete the quest “Gertrude’s Cat.” This quest involves helping Gertrude find her lost cat, culminating in receiving a Kitten as a reward upon successful completion. The quest requires players to venture into the Rimmington area to locate and deal with the challenges posed by a group of goblins.
Feeding and Caring
Once players have obtained a Kitten, it requires regular feeding and care. Players must feed their Kitten fish (raw shrimp, anchovies, or other types of fish) to keep it healthy and happy. The Kitten will grow over time, passing through various stages of growth: Kitten, Adolescent Cat, and finally, a full-grown Cat.
Growth Stages
- Kitten: The initial stage where the cat is small and playful.
- Adolescent Cat: After several hours of care, the Kitten matures into an adolescent form.
- Cat: After further nourishment, the cat develops into a fully grown adult cat.
Uses
Once fully mature, Cats can be used to catch and collect various types of fish automatically when the player is fishing. Furthermore, they provide benefits in quests and play a role in unique cat-related activities. A fully grown Cat is also required for various tasks and can be used to assist players throughout their adventures in specific quests, such as “A Cat of a Different Color.”
Fun Facts
- Kitten will follow the player around, showcasing its playful behavior.
- Players can obtain different types of cats based on their preferences and actions taken during the game.
- Players can trade their Kittens with other players, maintaining their level of care and feeding them accordingly.
Conclusion
Caring for a Kitten can be a delightful aspect of the OSRS experience, offering players a sense of companionship and additional gameplay mechanics as they progress through their quests and adventures in Gielinor.
