In my current game I found a wand of polymorph and polymorphed my kitten
into an electric vortex (I named it Jolt).  Jolt then goes and swallows
various enemy creatures that sometimes die and sometime get regurgitated.

The problem occurs when they die.  Nethack 3.0 seems to draw the corpse
on top of the vortex so that I can't see that the vortex is still in
that spot.  It has only been a minor inconvenience since it won't let
you hit your tame pet, but it does cost you a move which could be trouble
if there are other monsters around.
