Topic: Best CAT Tool to Utilise your past translations

Post title: It may not be reasonable
Essentially, if your previous translations were done without any CAT tools, the only way to reuse them is to realign them against the source texts using the alignment function of the CAT tool, which takes time and effort (even though semi-automatic, it still requires a lot of manual intervention in most cases). You can certainly do it, but it hardly makes sense unless the new translations are very similar to the old ones.
