Tables of Contents:
In and around the great walled city of Menaphos, there are several things which the Grand Library have lost their records of. Speaking with Assistant Librarian Subotai, he will give you a Menaphos journal in order to record information on these things for them. The things that you will need to find and make note of are Cats, Insects, and Jewels of the Elid.
Note: If you locate any of these things before receiving a Menaphos journal, you will need to locate them again! Thus it is highly recommended to speak with Assistant Librarian Subotai, West of the Merchant District Market, as soon as possible.
Below you will see the list of the Cats of Menaphos. Some of these kitties can only be found on a certain day of the week, some are locked behind certain levels of Reputation, and others will require you to be performing certain actions to find.
Petting the cat will add it to your list and talking to it will provide extra dialogue, if you are wearing a Catspeak amulet or a Cramulet (+ cat and camel). Much like in Penguin Hide And Seek, the wandering cats can be trapped within buildings, or you can keep them still by choosing to talk with them.
