I think I have finally learned my lesson. Always come and check the forum first before starting anything. I blithely poured everything I had into getting a kitten, without realising, that the quest would only be 3 days long, and that I have no where near enough manticore whiskers, venom, or faeire jars. Now I have cleaned out my truffles, dragon scales, mermaid scales, the 20 each of the whiskers venom and jars....and there is no way I will get the kitten without spending probably 420 gems. I am so disapointed. I think if you don't finish the items should at least be returned to your inventory. This has me nearly ready to stop playing for a while
