Then it rejoins the party. I wouldn't be too rigorous about keeping track of where the cat is and what it's doing; as long as the party isn't trying to use it as an adventuring resource, and makes at least a token effort to take care of it, it's fairly immune to harm, and once in a while it might provide some small out-of-combat assistance. (But not reliably. It's a cat. If they start relying on it, it will let them down at the worst possible moment, because cat.)Now, if the party wants to use the cat to scout, or to help in combat, or otherwise exploit its presence... well, then, its immunity to harm is removed, and it will shortly suffer the fate of any 1-hp creature with mediocre AC and saving throws in a dungeon crawl.I would also allow it to be bonded as a familiar. In that case, I would allow it to be resurrected by re-casting the spell. For flavor reasons, I'd probably add that when using find familiar in this way, the herbs and incense are replaced by a pinch of diamond dust worth 10 gp (since all other resurrection spells use diamonds as components).</blockquote>
