I really like the cat and went through a number of hoops to keep it alive. However, it also disappeared for me after I saved and closed the game. I've gone back to look for it, but it doesn't seem to have reappeared where you met it. It's simply gone. I'm hoping this vanishing act is a bug rather than a promising but disheartening side event.
As an aside, if the cat is really intended to be potentially kept with the party for an extended period of time, I will absolutely go way out of my way to keep it with me.
I refuse to finish my solo rogue run till I figure out the black cat problem!
