There have been so many tragic deaths onGame of Thrones.
Yet the fate of one beloved character has remained uncertain, until now.

Ser Pounce lept his way into our hearts, instantly becoming an online sensation.
His murderous mother, Cersei Lannister, crowned herself queen.
Ser Pounce was not seen again.
So what happened to him?
So she came up with her most diabolical [execution].
Ser Pounces death was so horrible we couldnt even put it on the air.
Yet Cersei cruelly disposing of her sons pet would be consistent with her character.
So dont expect Ser Pounce to make a final season cameo.
Just one whole episode devoted to the death of Ser Pounce.
The cat was a notoriously difficult actor.
That cat was really not fun to work with, Benioff says.
Theres a reason the phrase like herding cats came into existence.
Dogs generally do what you ask them to do if theyre smart and well trained, Weiss agrees.
Cats have their own agenda.
Like several other deceasedGoTcharacters, Ser Pounce is still alive in George R.R.
Martins books, where he was one of three kittens given to Tommen by Margaery.
I dont know [what happened to him], theactor told Huffington Post.
I suppose theres a lot of staff around the kingdom to look after him.
Hopefully, he didnt get caught up in the blast.
Thatd be a tragedy.
I like to think hed also move on with his life and get a girlfriend maybe.
Tommen, as always, innocent of the worlds cruelty.
So the next time you enjoy some wine or ale, take a moment and raise your glass.
Say a toast to the memory of Ser Pounce.
And meow his watch is ended.
