Tax: An old stray I used to take care of.

Sorry for necroing, but she looks like an older version of my kitty.

Mine was a former stray as well, and she had the wanderlust. We tried to keep her inside and did so successfully for years, but one night I had the flu and my reflexes were slow when I went to let the dogs out in the backyard to pee before bed. She darted between my legs and out the door, and was gone over the fence before I could do anything. We searched everywhere and put up posters, but nothing. When she didn't come back, I figured she died or got so lost she couldn't find her way back. She loved me so much and the feeling was mutual. On good days, I think maybe someone found her and they love her as much as I do.

One of my biggest regrets is not having her microchip looked at, assuming she even had one. For all I know she had a previous owner who she was separated from and never knew what happened to her. She was at least 10 when she showed up, and considering how affection starved she seemed, she couldn't have been a feral for that whole time. Plus she was spayed, so someone was taking care of her at some point, however short.

She spent 24 hours of her day in various parts of my yard and never left to go anywhere, so I just assumed she'd been dumped there, which happened a lot. When she suddenly decided she was going to sleep in my garage and refuse to leave for over a month, it more or less confirmed in my mind that she had nowhere to go.

I had an indoor-outdoor cat when I was a kid who accidently got locked outside one night and we never found him. Not having the closure of knowing what happened to him hit me a lot harder than if I had known he passed away. I like to think he just walked over to a neighbors house and got let in and chose to stay with them. He came into the family as a 2-3 month old "feral" kitten who was the only one of the litter to walk right up to the back door and let himself inside, so it wouldn't have been out of character.

No pictures of him unfortunately. The closest approximation is this, but he had really weird proportions, pretty sure he was the runt.

Can necromancy replenish a living cat's lives? Could it overcharge a cat?

No necromancer has ever been reckless enough to raise a zombie cat, Cat Morality and the Natural Evil of Zombifying something is a way to make an evil monstrosity that even I would not want to unleash upon the world.
