Getting Started
Firstly, head to Burthorpe and talk to Unferth. He will ask to see your cat and then he will tell you that Bob is missing! He will tell you that he last saw Bob on a Monday, and he will suggest that you talk to Hild.
Speak to Hild and tell her that you have come to ask about Bob. Strangely enough your cat and Hild can understand each other, so there will be some dialogue between them. She will ask for 5 Death Runes to make an enchantment on your CatSpeak Amulet. She will enchant the amulet and tell you how to use it.

Finding Bob
Now open up your amulet by choosing the "Open" option on the right-click menu.
![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (2) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (2)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
When you activate the amulet, the face of a cat will show up, and by following the instructions above you'll find the direction of Bob.
![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (3) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (3)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Once you have found the correct direction, the eyes will light up and the mouth will move!
![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (4) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (4)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Now this is the tricky part: Finding Bob. Once you have found him, he will tell you he has left Unferth because he has fallen in love with Neite. Then a sickening dialogue will start and you have to head to Gertrude to find out who Bob's parents are.
Robert the Strong
Talk to Gertrude and she will call Bob the big tomcat who hangs by the Heroes' Guild. But she doesn't know much about him. Then your cat will tell you about Robert the Strong, however Gertrude knows nothing about him. The only one person to go to now, Reldo the Librarian of Varrock, found in the Varrock Castle library in the northern part of the castle.
Ask Reldo about Robert the Strong and the dialogue will describe him a bit. Then your cat will say Robert the Strong is Bob.
Go back to Bob he will say he knows nothing of his Robert the Strong and then your cat says we must go to the Sphinx.
![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (5) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (5)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Talk to the Sphinx from the Icthlarin's Little Helper Quest, located in Sophanem. He will tell you that he too has noticed something about Bob, and then you have the option of either viewing a cutscene (around 5 minutes long), or just reading a summary of it. Then Bob will ask you to help Unferth while he is away. When the cutscene ends, go back to Unferth's House.
Chores
Now you should have a piece of paper with some chores written on it:
![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (6) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (6)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
- Tidy House: Make the bed in the corner.
- Warm Human: Light a fire in the fireplace with Logs and a Tinderbox.
- Feed Human: Use a Bucket of Milk and a Chocolate Cake on the table.
- Tidy Human: Use a pair of Shears on Unferth to cut his hair.
- Tend Garden: Grow some Potatoes in his garden.
Now Unferth says that he is ill. Go to the Apothecary in Varrock and he'll give you a Doctor Head Gear or a Nurse's Head band. Now you need white robes and a vial of water.
Talk to Unferth and you will give him the Vial of Water that he thinks is a potion, then go and find Bob again using your amulet. Then you will see an interesting cutscene where Bob and his dame travel around Runescape, even in the not so expected places...
![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (7) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (7)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Afterwards, speak to Unferth again to complete the quest. Congratulations, Quest Complete! ![Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (8) Quest: A Tail of Two Cats (8)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)

FAQs
When you see the central cat's eyes light up, go in that direction to find Bob. He can be anywhere in RuneScape. However it is recommended to pick a common spot where Bob is found, and then world hop. He is commonly found at the Varrock anvils (south of the Varrock west bank, not the armour shop anvils).
How do you unite two cats? ›
Feed the cats near the door that separates them so they learn that coming together (even though they can't see each other) results in a pleasant experience. In addition to regular cat food, feed the cats extra-special treats near the door as well, like tiny pieces of tuna, salmon, cheese, chicken or liver.
How do you reunite two cats? ›
Feed them on opposite sides of a closed door to help build positive associations. Then use a screen door, so they can see each other. When your cats can eat near each other without hissing or tensing up, slowly crack open the door. Then give them supervised visits together.
How do you get two cats acquainted? ›
Give cats treats so they spend time close to each other or play with a feather to encourage play. Do not use catnip. When comfortable with each other they will sniff noses, play through the door or rub against the door. When you see this, you can have a proper introduction.
How much does it cost to bob a cat's tail? ›
A cat tail amputation typically ranges from $300 to $1,200, and the national average cost is $600.
Are bobbed tail cats rare? ›
Although they have been around for over half a century, there is still much to learn about these rare felines. There are multiple types of Bobtail cat breeds, each with a distinct personality and appearance.
Do female cats get along better with male or female cats? ›
Firstly, remember that your existing cat may not want a new friend at all so you might well be better off not getting another cat. There's no evidence to suggest a cat may prefer one gender over another. It is more important to match their personalities.
How to introduce two cats when one is aggressive? ›
Separate cats that act aggressively toward each other and reintroduce slowly with positive reinforcement, as described in the Territorial Aggression section. Food treats are excellent positive enforcers of non-aggressive behavior.
How long will a cat hiss at a new cat? ›
If it takes more than seven days for the hissing to stop, things need to go more gradually. Allow the cats to see each other while maintaining a physical barrier, such as stacking baby gates in the doorway, opening the door an inch or two and using a door stop to keep the door open, or putting in a screen door.
Will two cats eventually like each other? ›
However, if there is no competition for food or safe sleeping places (as in most good homes) then cats will accept each other eventually and some will even seem to form close bonds with one another.
Territorial problems often occur when a new cat is brought into a household, when a young kitten reaches maturity, or when a cat encounters neighborhood cats outside. It's not uncommon for a cat to be territorially aggressive toward one cat in a family, and friendly and tolerant to another.
Do cats remember other cats? ›
You might be wondering, "Do cats remember other cats?" and "How long do cats remember other cats?" In a 2004 study published in the "Applied Animal Behavior Science" journal, the findings suggest that cats can recognize the cats they've previously lived with, even after being separated for a period of time.
How do two cats bond? ›
Over time we started to see the hallmarks of a bonded pair of cats, including not eating at all unless they were together, rubbing heads all the time, grooming together, modified play, crying out for each other when apart, and sleeping together.
How do you make two cats happy? ›
Give each cat plenty of attention and exercise to keep them happy and satisfied, as well as to distract them from picking on each other. Using environmental enrichment to keep your cats content can definitely help to avoid a dangerous sibling situation.
How long does it take for two cats to get along? ›
Your new feline will need his/her own one-on-one time with you and the security of a routine. Just like humans, some cats will bond easily and be forever friends, while others will never get on well. Be patient: it usually takes 2-4 weeks for a kitten and an adult to adjust; 4-6 weeks (or longer) for adult cats.
How to use a Catspeak amulet to locate Bob? ›
The enchantment allows a player to locate Bob by use of an interface inside the amulet. To use the amulet, right-click on it and select Open. Then click the right whisker to check clockwise from where the arrow is pointing, or the left whisker to check counter-clockwise. Bob will be in the direction that is lit up.
How do I know if my cat is part bob cat? ›
While long-haired cats have been known to sport ear and paw tufts, these are traits associated with cold-weather cats like Bobcats and other long-haired cats. Lastly, look for that distinctive stumpy, black-tipped tail. No sign of Bobcat heritage can be greater than the distinctive bobbed tail they're named for!
