TheWoWDBYou have to return the kitten to the other side of the bridge
How it works:
You stand near the kitten and after some time he will try to run away from you for a short distance. Move closer to the kitten. Step by step and you already on the other side. Now repeate this 6 times for the next quest and get your pet.

The easiest way to do this is to hit the / key on your numeric keypad on your keyboard. That will make you walk. Face the direction you want the kitten to go and walk behind them. It works for this quest and the followup quest to get the pet.
Have fun herding cats! er, kittens... er owlkittens...
This can be frustrating if the Owlkitten goes up on the side of the bridge.
He can get stuck there and nothing you do will get him to move.
Only solution I could find when this happened was to abandon quest and try again.
Luckily, the quest giver is still closeby!

What to do
Enchanted Nightborne Coin, 2g 2s 20c, 775 XPDescription
The first step to establishing a moonwell is to gain the blessings of the local wildlife. It is their good will that enables us to peacefully coexist, and a moonwell thrives on such energies. Combined with Elune's light, a moonwell can purify its surroundings for years. To begin, we must find creatures willing to give their blessing. We can start with these owl-cat creatures. They ran while you cleaned, but I saw one lingering just before the bridge. See if you can find where it lives!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Feline Frantic
Greetings, stranger. <Mayruna bows to you.> We arrived from Val'Sharah a short time ago with hopes of settling here. Our journey was not easy and we are weary. These owlcats have made a mess of our camp, as you can surely see. Would you be so kind as to assist us with cleaning up?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- You've Got to Be Kitten Me Right Meow
While you were dealing with the stray Owlkitten, I took a look around. It seems these curious creatures have a habit of escaping their parents' watchful eyes - some are trapped across the road by a wandering Ettin. He appears to have been... ahem... eating them.
