Dear Doctor Science,
Is there any way to bring someone's pet cat back to life after you've
run over it with your car?

Sure, but it involves a lot of faith and at least a little work. Since
all pets are essentially the same, all you have to do is disguise a
stray pet to look like the newly deceased pet. This is easier when you
stick to the same species. For example, it's much easier to paint a
tabby with some orange spots to make it a calico, if that's the color
and model you ran over. I once painted a Yorkshire terrier to resemble
lop eared rabbit, but that took several tubes of epoxy and some minor
surgery. Most pet owners don't really pay much attention to their pets
after the first few thrilling months of ownership and any changes in
disposition or appearance can easily be explained away by flea or
parasite infestation.
