Myshka is a medium haired white Cat with blue eyes in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate.

Are yerrr mer mermer?

— Myshka asking if you are his mother

Involvement

Myshka can be found in an alley east of Bonecloak's Apothecary. The party can speak with Myshka using  Speak with Animals. He speaks in a feline dialect called Mriaer, which comes across as a corrupted version of Common when communicating using Speak with Animals. While Myshka thinks a character is his mother (or that they know his mother), Myshka will follow them for a period of time while they remain in the area, and can be asked to follow again in subsequent conversations.

Along with  Barsik and  Malta, Myshka is one of three different cats located near Bonecloak's Apothecary that can be asked to keep  Derryth Bonecloak company if  Baelen Bonecloak died in Act One, and the party has spoken to her about how she feels lonely without him.
