Hi :)

Question on 3.4.3 vanilla..

Is it realistically feasible to take your original pet right through the game to ascension, *without* polymorphing it into something tougher?

I get rather attached to my kitty (actually I have a bad habit of restarting anytime it gets killed) but if I read the spoilers right, they never get past xp level 9 normally. Seems wraith corpses can break this cap, but I dont know of a way to farm these effectively outside wizard mode. That and zapping with speed monster is all I've found for boosting them up at all.

Are there any other tips / strategies for toughening them up, and getting them through gehennom and the astral planes?

Any help would be much appreciated!
