Found a new friend in the nether
(lemmy.sdf.org)
Portal near a village, most likely.
Cats spawn in randomly near villages, and can despawn, so it's only a matter of time if there's a spawnable surface in reach of a portal if it's in or next to a village.
Once in the nether, it unloads before it despawns and waits for you.
That makes sense, he probably came through the portal at the netherwart farm, since I found him in that general vicinity.
Mainly for screenshots of builds,
