RIP Ser Pounce: 'Game Of Thrones' Cat Likely Didn't Survive The Season 6 Finale

Spoilers ahead for the Game of Thrones season six finale!

The season six finale of Game of Thrones saw a number of main characters literally go up in flames, as Cersei enacted her plot to wipe out all her enemies in one fell swoop.

Of course, there were a number of innocent men and woman caught in the crossfire, too. Whether it be the crowd of noblemen and women inside the Sept of Baelor when it exploded in a ball of wildfire or peasants outside the Sept crushed by the rain of debris from the blast, Cersei took no prisoners (well, she took one) in her ascension to the Iron Throne.

However, there is one additional casualty fans may have not realized: Ser Pounce, the cat of King Tommen and Queen Margaery. According to Tommen actor Dean-Charles Chapman on Making Game of Thrones, Ser Pounce likely didn't survive the blast once the Sept exploded. When asked what had become of the cat since viewers last saw him, Chapman had this to say:

"He probably got a girlfriend and got married ... And probably got caught up in the Sept blast, unfortunately," Chapman says.

That's terribly unfortunate, especially considering that Ser Pounce's scene-stealing moment proved to be one of Chapman's favorite scenes as Tommen.

"I'd probably choose the Ser Pounce scene in 'Oathkeeper,'" he says. "That was my first day, so that meant a lot to me. It's an iconic scene for Tommen with Ser Pounce and Margaery. It was a long, hard day, because the cat was a bit of a diva."

Now, there is a chance Ser Pounce could still be roaming king's landing. After all, Chapman does say Ser Pounce "probably" got caught in the blast, not "definitely" got caught in it. However, with King's Landing in chaos and Tommen dead, perhaps Ser Pounce's chances of survival aren't that great anyway.

The show's season six finale proved to be one of the most memorable hours of the show to date. From Cersei's revenge to the always-entertaining Lyanna Mormont, the episode put all the pieces in place for the show's rapidly-approaching end-game, while also delivering on the moments fans had waited to see for years.
