The Twitter hashtag #cemeterycat has been trending after Adams almost 700,000 followers became engrossed in the saga.

The cat was caught this morning by Aucklander Rob Isaac, and a group of cat lovers called Lonely Miow Assn.

A Lonely Miaow member has taken cemetery cat to a vet to be checked for a microchip, and to make sure she's healthy.

@rmi I had a runaway dog with a microchip who came back home 7 months later because of someone kind like you taking him to a vet.

The cat is reportedly smooching with the clinic's staff.

Update: #cemeterycat is smooching up the Vet staff as we are tweeting! In the queue for a consult, stay tuned!
