Pet disappearing?

I just started an E/R build and got the quest to tame my stalker, completed it and have been fighting alongside the cat.

Get the message that a new build of the game is available and to log out and back in<done>, but when I venture out there is no pet/ally with me.

Am I supposed to do something in order to "call" the pet??

make sure you have the skill "Charm Animal" eqquiqed if you dno't have it eqquiqed youre pet won't be there ;-)

Same thing happened to me. It has something to do with the game updating. It's not supposed to happen but now you'll have to tame another pet. I got a Wolf
