Nine-Lives Familiar

Creature — Cat

This creature enters with eight revival counters on it if you cast it.
When this creature dies, if it had a revival counter on it, return it to the battlefield with one fewer revival counter on it at the beginning of the next end step.

Her master gathered the bones to resurrect her, only to find her purring on the altar.
