#	Name	Members	Description	Requirements	Notes
8	A Lick of Paint	Yes	Select a colour for a new kitten.	Gertrude's Cat Garden of Tranquillity (partial)	Select a colour for a new kitten costing 100 coins. Players must wear a ring of charos (a) and charm Gertrude so that they may select the colour of their new kitten. Gertrude will not sell a kitten to the player if they already have a kitten or cat with them or in the bank. She does not check the menagerie of the player-owned house though. Note that currently the act of retrieving a new kitten will reset the current rat kill counter, which may interfere with obtaining the Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! achievement.	10
5	Can't Make an Omelette	No	Escape from the spider lair in Varrock's sewers with some red spider eggs.	None	Leave the deadly red spider area in the Varrock sewers after picking up red spider eggs. This achievement can be completed by teleporting out.	10

20	Dial V For Varrock	Yes	Dial to the fairy ring west of Varrock.	A Fairy Tale II - Cure a Queen (partial)	Teleport to the fairy ring with code dkr which is located west of Varrock. Dramen staff or Lunar staff are required if A Fairy Tale III - Battle at Ork's Rift is not completed yet.	10

18	Engage	Yes	Use the hot-air balloon to travel from Varrock to somewhere else.	40 Firemaking Enlightened Journey	Use the hot-air balloon to travel from Varrock to somewhere else. Players must unlock the ability to travel from Varrock by voyaging from Entrana to Varrock first, which requires 30 charges. Subsequent voyages only cost 3 charges. The initial travel will not count.	10
19	Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!	No	Get a cat training medal from Gertrude.	Gertrude's Cat	Get a cat training medal from Gertrude. The player's character will say when their cat catches 100 rats. While hunting, you will receive a chat dialogue indicating progress upon the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th rat caught. After this talk to Gertrude to get the medal. It is suggested to catch the rats in Brian's Archery Supplies in Rimmington as there are many rats to be found here; another location is Varrock Sewers, but this location is notably slower. Alternatively, if Recipe for Disaster: Freeing Evil Dave is completed, hell-rats in his basement in Edgeville can be used for this achievement, allowing the player to stock up on spices for stat-boosting stews at the same time. Catching rats with a kitten is significantly slower than a grown cat. Note that obtaining a new kitten will reset the current rat kill counter, so ensure to claim the medal prior to retrieving a new kitten.	10
