- Gertrude: You'll find that most sorts of fish will help keep your cat growing and happy, although I don't think Fluffs liked eels much. As for drink, buckets of milk are the best. Remember, if you don't feed your cat, it is likely to run away - understandable, really.

- Gertrude: You can stroke it, of course. All cats like to be stroked. If you are feeling a bit more energetic you can play with balls of yarn; cats enjoy playing with those. I've also heard that skilled craftsmen can make clockwork mice as cat toys. If this all seems a bit too much like effort, remember that a bored cat will run away in search of adventure.
- Player: Thanks for the advice.
- Gertrude: Is there anything more you need to know?
- Select an option
- No, thank you. I'll be off now.

- Player: What sorts of cat are there?
- Gertrude: Well, you know that a kitten will grow into a cat if you feed and treat it well. You can, however, go a bit far and end up with an overgrown cat. I've heard that there are secret methods for training an overgrown cat into a wily cat. You have to keep wily cats on their toes, though, or they can easily become lazy cats. Even more extreme are hellcats; if your cat eats too many hellrats then they turn into one! Luckily, a drink of milk sorts this out.
- Player: Thanks for the advice.
- Gertrude: Is there anything more you need to know?
- Select an option
- No, thank you. I'll be off now.
