[[File:Rat Pits.png]] The '''Rat Pits''' is a [[p2p|members-only]] [[activity]] that involves [[cat]]s. Playing this activity requires the completion of the [[Ratcatchers]] quest. Please note that this is a '''"Dangerous"''' activity, as '''cats''' (but '''not''' players) can [[die]] here. The official world for the rat pits is world 138.

==Rat pits==
There are four rat pits in ''[[RuneScape]]''. These pits are located in:
* [[Varrock]] ([[cat]]s) - [[Hooknosed Jack]]
* [[Ardougne]] ([[kitten]]s) - [[Jimmy Dazzler]]
* [[Keldagrim]] ([[overgrown cat]]s) - [[Smokin' Joe]]
* [[Port Sarim]] ([[wily cat]]s) - [[The Face]]

As [[lazy cat]]s are not allowed, one will have to train it to become wily again before it is allowed.

The Port Sarim rat pits are currently '''''very''''' underpopulated.

==Gameplay==
===What to Bring===
* [[Cat]] (depending on the location of the rat pit; i.e. kittens for Ardougne Rat Pit)
* [[Rat pole]] (recommended)
* [[Catspeak Amulet]] (optional; for strategy) - Without the amulet, one's cat will keep the same stats and fight to its death.

===Bets===
A bet must be placed by both players.

Both players' bets must be the same before the game will begin.

===Strategy===
If the player has a [[catspeak amulet]], he or she can discuss a strategy with their cat. A Cramulet WILL '''NOT''' work.

:{| class="wikitable" width="85%"
! Strategy !! Increases !! Decreases !! Deathmatch? !! When does the cat run?
|-
| '''Just be careful in there cat.''' || [[Defence]] and [[Constitution]] significantly. || [[Attack]] and [[Strength]] significantly || No || Runs (loses) when its life points drops.
|-
| '''Stay in for as long as you can.''' || Defence and Constitution a bit. || Attack and Strength a bit. || No || Runs (loses) when its life points becomes extremely low.
|-
| '''No guts, no glory!''' || Attack and Strength a bit. || Defence and Constitution a bit. || Yes || The cat will not run.
|-
| '''Go berserk!''' || Attack and Strength significantly || Defence and Constitution greatly || Yes || The cat will not run.
|}

'''Note:''' If a player is not wearing the Catspeak amulet, the cat's stats will remain unchanged and it can die, in which the player loses both the fight and the cat.

Once the bets have been placed, and the strategies chosen, the cats begin to kill rats. The number of rats that need to be killed before a cat wins depends on the type of cat. If a cat runs away or dies, the owner of the cat will lose the bet. However, the cat will only be lost if it dies. In the case that both cats tire out at the same amount of kills, the match is declared a draw and both cats and bets are returned to their owners.

==Rewards==
The game only rewards coins. There are no other rewards given, and items cannot be staked.

==Music==
[[Music]] unlocked:

* Bubble and Squeak - Keldagrim Rat Pits
* Catch me if you can - Ardougne Rat Pits
* Rat a Tat Tat - Varrock Rat Pits

==Trivia==
* [[Rat trap]]s are found near many of the rat pits. The player may attempt to pick up the traps, but doing so will also set off the trap and deal minor damage to the player. Although most traps are empty, some contain [[cheese]] that the player may take (although they will still take damage). The trap will remain on the floor.
* Each rat pit has a Rat barn which houses the rats for the pit. Barrels of live rats are also found near some pits.
* The Keldagrim rat pits is different from the other three rat pits locations. It has a stone floor, vs. dirty floors for the others. The pub is in an enclosed room with a named bartenders, vs. open bar pumps and generically named 'barmen'. The dwarf gamblers are individually named, vs. generically named 'gamblers' for the humans. The entrance to the pits only has a cat, vs. a cat and a human.
* All pubs in the rat pits, plus the pub [[Laughing Miner]] pub outside the Keldagrim pits, sell [[beer]] for 2 coins and [[stew]] for 20 coins.
* The Ardougne rat pits is the only one without an underground pub. However, players may visit the [[Flying Horse Inn]] on the surface should they develop a thirst punting on the fights.

* Unfortunately, '''few''' players still use the rat pits making them ''very hard'' to play. It is advised to bring a friend instead.

* The Rat Pit's [[gambler]]s and barmen make it seem like modern-day [[wikipedia:dog fighting|dog fighting]].{{Activities}}
