'''Gertrude Fairweather''' is a woman who lives in a small house just west of [[Varrock]] and south of the [[Cooks' Guild]]. She is the character to whom [[members]] must talk to begin both [[Gertrude's Cat]] and [[Rat Catchers]] [[quests]]. She also plays a minor role in [[A Tail of Two Cats]]. After completing Gertrude's Cat, Gertrude gives you 1 [[kitten]] for free. If you lose it or exchange the grown cat for 100 [[death rune]]s in [[Ardougne]], you may buy another kitten from her with 100 coins.

With the activated [[Ring of charos]] you can to choose the colour of the kitten.

Gertrude has 4 children, [[Shilop]], [[Wilough]] (both of whom are featured in Gertrude's Cat quest), [[Kanel]] and [[Philop]] (neither featured in a quest). She also lives with [[Caleb Fitzharmon]], although the exact nature of their relationship is unknown.

==Trivia==
*The name Gertrude may refer to [[wikipedia:Gertrude of Nivelles|Gertrude Of Nivelles]] [626 to 17 March 659] who was a saint and patron of cats.
*As written in the [[Varrock Census]] of the [[Defender of Varrock]] quest, Gertrude's husband was named [[Walter Fairweather]] and was a travelling merchant, apparently nowhere to be found in [[Gielinor]] at the actual moment. As she currently lives with [[Caleb]], it is possible that they broke up, or he died.
* While doing [[A Tail of Two Cats|A Tail Of Two Cats]], the player, while talking to [[Bob]] about Gertrude, calls her "the crazy cat lady", although Gertrude has no history of craziness. The dialogue:
::Player's cat: Don't you know who your parents are?
::Bob: All I know is that Gertrude found me on her doorstep one day. She looked after me when I was a kitten.
::Player: The crazy cat lady?
* It is possible to make 30,000+ (depending on the price of Death runes) coins per cat, assuming the player trades the cat from Death runes, then sells them.
* When the player says 'The crazy cat lady?' This may be a reference to The Simpsons Character, 'The Cat Lady'
* When buying a new kitten from Gertrude and you have a full [[inventory]] a message in the chatbox says: "You don't have space in your bags for a new kitten", Notice how it says "bags" instead of "bag".
