-----------------------------

Ok, now to start the quest, go to Varrock and talk to Gertrude.

If you don't have a Kitten/Cat/ Overgrown Cat, i suggest you buy it NOW, you will need it through out the quest, and its only 100 gp. She will say that there are some persons at the sewer that want to talk with you.
Now it's the best time to start wearing your Catspeak Amulet and Ring of Charos (u) (if you have 1). Head to Varrock Palace to where the guards are, and a few ways northeast from there is the sewer entrance. go down it.
Ewww, this place smells. Talk to 1 of the 2 sisters (dont remember their names)

(insert a pic here)

They will tell you to catch 8 Rats with your cat. Now have patiente and try until you get all 8. Talk to the sisters again and they will give you a Rat Pole and say that if you want to know more about rat pits you should go to Jimmy Dazzler in Ardougne. Take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG walk there and look behind the bar, on a house you will find Jimmy Dazzler. Talk to him and hewill say for you to do a 'small' job for him. he will hand you some directions. Read them to end up in the Manor.

(insert pic here)

The Manor: Courtyard

Ok now, this is hard. If you get seen by guards you will get teleported all the way to the beggining. So now, focus on the east small pond. When the guards are looking at the entrance to the pond, run to the right of the pond and then hide from the next guards by getting behind the fence. Wait for them to not be watching and run to the next fence and hide. Wait for the guard to not be looking and climb the (insert the things name here). Now if you get caught you will reapear here.

The Manor: Floor 2

Ok now, wait for the guards to be next to the stairs and run to the east room. Kill the Rat there and add him to the pole. Now wait till the guards arent watching and run to the little walkay next to the west stair (that leads to a room with some rolled rugs and a broken table) and enter the room! If those guards knew we where here... Anyway, kill the 2 Rats and add them to your rat pole. Now, go down that ladder and kill the 3 Rats down there! You got them all! Now you have to sneak back out the way you came. If you get caught you will reapear in the kitchen now. Just make your way to the manor gate and select the yes option.

Finnally, we got out of there. Talk to Jimmy and he will give you access to the Ardougne Rat pits (only for kittens). He will say that if you want to know more about overgrown cats you will have to talk to Hooknosed Jack in Varrock. Walk there and go through the gate guarded by a guard (duh) near the Rune Shop. Talk to Hooknosed Jack.

(insert pic here)

Hooknosed Jack's Mission:

He will tell you to go and exterminate the Rats in a Warehouse behind the Dancing Donkey inn (that bar right next to us). You think no problem right? That's a No-No. This is gonna be tough. Get your Rat Poison/ Kwuarm and Red spiders out of the bank. If you give the Kwuarm, Red Spider's Eggs and Empty Vial to him he will mix up Rat Poison, but i just went get the Rat Poison in Ardougne Clock Tower Dungeon. Now use the Rat Poison with ALL the Cheese, making 4 poisoned cheese. Get Trouts or Salmon (cooked) out of the bank. Go to the destroyed house behind the bar and go up the ladder. Use the 4 Poisoned Cheese with the 4 Rat Holes. Report back to Hooknosed Jack. Ummm, looks like Pox has eaten too many Poisoned Rats. He will tell you to run to the Apothecary nearby. He's just close to the west bank anvil house. Talk to him and ask about cats. Tell him about the poison and he will say he will make a cure if you bring if a Marrentil Herb, a Bucket of Milk and a Ground Unicorn Horn. Hand over the items to him to get Cat Cure. Go talk to Jack and give it to him. Uh oh, the meanest, biggest of all rast survived, so let's go kick his butt! Go to the warehouse and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ABOUT 24 SALMON OR TROUT ON YOUR INVENTORY. Use your cat with the hole in the wall. I suggest you tell him 'Be Carfeul in there cat' as that will make him run when 3 hp is took off. Now click on Use trout/salmon, then put it on the hole to it stays like 'Use Salmon/trout with Hole in Wall.
Your cat will now fight with the King Rat. This will be tough. When your cat takes 1 damages use a salmon or trout with the hole to heal him. When you take care of the King Rat, report back to Jack. He will give you access to Varrock Rat Pits (Cats only) and says that if you want to know more about grown cats, you should go see Smokin' Joe in Keldagrim.

Smokin' Joe's Troubles:

Go to Keldagrim. Behind the Pickaxe shop there is Smokin' Joe. Talk to him.

(insert pic here)

Now ask him how to make a smouldering pot. He will say to get some Grass, use it with the Pot, and light it with a tinderbox. If you don't have Grass yet, you can rake the Kelda Hops Patch for some. Now, drop your kitten and use the Smouldering Pot with the Rat Hole 3 times (failing on all of them), then try to do it a fourth time. Your cat will say that he cant stand you doing it wrong, and then you ask how your gonna do it, and he says that he'll ambush the rats when you put the pot on the Rat Hole. You will do so, and your car will kill them. Now talk to Joe and he'll grant you acess to Keldagrim Rat Pits (Overgrown Cats only) and he will say that if you really want to know about grown cats, you should talk to The Face at Port Sarim (sheesh this gets annoying doesn't it?)

The Bard's Secrets:

Go to Port Sarim, and behind the Fishing Shop, talk to The Face.

(insert pic here)

She will tell you to talk to a bard downstairs (forgot her name). Now go in Port Sarim Rat Pits and talk to the first ripped t shirt wearing girl that isn't a gambler that you see. She will tell you how to get the most powerful form of cats, IF (there is always the if) you get all the rats of Port Sarim killed in 1 MANUEVER!
Now that is ridicoulus! Anyway, go ask The Face about it. Compliment her and she will tell how the Bard got all the mouses in 1 manuever. Snake charming!

(isnert pic here)


Run to Pollivnech and use coins with the money pot next to him. Talk to him about animal charming and then tell him you will give him money if he gives you the Snake Charm and the Note scroll. He will say 1000 coins for that. Pay him, if you have a Ring of Charos it's only 50 gp. Now go to Port Sarim. Watch the Scroll.

(insert Scroll screen pic here)

Now click on the Flute.

Page 1- 6 Filled Holes.
Page 2- 3 Filled Holes.
Page 3- 5 Filled Holes.
Page 4- 4 Filled Holes.
Page 5- 1 Octave raise and 6 filled holes.
Page 6- 1 Filled holes.
Page 7- 6 Unfilled holes.
Page 8- 2 Filled holes.

Filled Holes is when there are red dots when you click on the flute figure.
Unfilled Holes is when you click on the flute figures and it only shows red outlines.
To Raise and Octave click on the weird smily like symbol.
To change pages click on the small arrow.

Once you do all that, click on 'PLAY'. You will drown the rats of Port Sarim. Report to the bard. She will give you acess to Port Sarim Rat Pits (Wiley Cats only), the oppurtunity to name your cat if he is a Lazy or Wiley cat, and that Overgrown Cats are grwon to Wiley Cats ONLY by her!

(insert quest complete scroll here)

Contragulations! You finished the boringest quest ever!

Reward: 4000 Theiving xp, Train Overgrown Cats into Wiley Cats, Name your Cat if he is Wiley or Lazy, Acess to ALL Rat Pits and 2 Quest Points.

That guide nearly took me an hour to write. Now i want some feeedback on the guide.

Uh, a few things.

1. We need pictures, and if you've completed the quest getting pictures becomes more difficult.
2. It's not written professionally, nor even colloquially. It's written in cutesy. So, no.

Fix the above two points and it'll be put into consideration.

Might require some small bits of editing but we'll be sure to use it, or parts of it in some form. Pictures would be very helpful thanks for your contribution.

Uh, don't worry about pictures, I'll take care of it.

What I'm going to do is take what you've got, retone it to be more 'professional', and add in pictures, while splitting credit.

So don't worry about doing anything further with this.
