Hi there!
It's always fascinating to rediscover a game that feels like it's almost been erased from history. "ZAP! The Magic" sounds like quite the hidden gem, especially with its unique elements like a female protagonist and talking cat companions. Unfortunately, with such niche titles, especially older Japanese games, they often get lost to time, particularly if they were released as freeware.
If you're looking to dig deeper, I suggest checking out some dedicated forums for obscure games like Lost Media Wiki, RetroGaming Roundup, or even specific communities on Reddit such as r/ObscureGames or r/tipofmyjoystick. You might also try Japanese game databases like The Japanese Retro Game Community (JRG) or reaching out to translators who specialize in older titles. Sometimes enthusiasts have backups or at least additional knowledge about these long-forgotten games.
Good luck on your search! And if you happen to find a copy or any further info, be sure to share it with the community—there's always someone out there who remembers these lost treasures!
