“Yeah, I don’t know. I suppose there’s a lot of staff around the kingdom to look after him. Hopefully he didn’t get caught up in the blast. That’d be a tragedy. I like to think he’d also move on with his life and get a girlfriend maybe,” Chapman told The Huffington Post.

Pounce, of course, is the hero cat who stole the moment in Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell) and Chapman’s first scene together. Tommen’s pet made only one appearance on the show, and now we know the reason why.

The 18-year-old says he was nervous for his scene with Dormer, and the cat didn’t make things any easier.

“With the cat, it was my first time working with animals, and it was quite hard because you’re doing a scene with the other actress or actor, and at the same time there’s trainers off the set, behind the camera, like with a little toy putting food on the bed for it to stand in a certain position, and that cat that day would have none of it. He was just loving life. He just really wasn’t on his game that day,” Chapman explained. “Yeah, I think that was the reason why they didn’t have him back because it’s just hard work. Cats can’t understand English, so you tell a cat, ‘Come on. Jump on the bed,’ and he just looks at you like, ‘What are you talking about?’”

Dormer previously said in a Reddit AMA that Ser Pounce was a diva, causing speculation that that was reason the cat wasn’t back. We just hoped the rumors weren’t true. Apparently, she wasn’t kitten.

Chapman did add, however, that he loved the scene with Pounce. Perhaps the actor learned his lesson after comments about a love scene with Dormer were blown out of proportion in previous interviews. It’s not worth hurting Pounce’s feelings.

The loss of Pounce in the show is obviously cat-astrophic, but Chapman was only getting started, as he talked to HuffPost about the aftermath of the finale and the bloodshed ahead.


What was your reaction to Tommen’s scene?

As soon as I read it, I was sort of not really looking forward to it. This show has so many deaths every year, and at some point you know it’s going to come unless you’re really lucky. And as soon as I read it, I was kind of really nervous to film it, because I wanted it to be good. I wanted Tommen to go out in a good way. In a way, it’s an awful thing what he did. But instead of getting his skull crushed or, you know, dying in a sword fight, I think it was a great way visually. It looked great.

Like conceptually I can't even imagine a cat show.

Like a dog show involves walking the dogs around in an orderly fashion. Getting them to patiently sit and stand while being inspected. Maybe some sort of trick. There's no way you can do that with cats.

Like even the fact you managed to get your cats to wear a crown and sit in that mini iron throne long enough to take multiple photos is mind boggling to me.

I think you must be the cat whisperer.

I watched a documentary once about cat shows and the people who enter their cats in them, and one of them said something that stuck with me, which I'm paraphrasing:

"If you've got the sort of cat that runs out of the room when you turn on the vacuum cleaner, they don't have the right temperament for a cat show." And sure enough, that quote was voiced over some footage of this woman vacuuming her living room, surrounded by several cats in repose who clearly did not give a poo poo (all the more impressive considering that I assume the footage was being recorded by a crew of strangers).

Ah, he just looked straight at you so I assumed. And eh that mobster roleplay thing... go ooon?

It’s called Accomplice: New York. It’s a PG-rated, family friendly interactive theatre experience in Manhattan. A mafia don recently broken out of prison wants to reward his accomplices with plane ticket out of town, but they’re in hiding all around downtown. You need to follow clues at each stop to find the next actor, traversing about 5 miles.

Pretty much, they have to be chill and either love the attention or at worst don't mind it. Fyodor hated shows:

I would bring you whiskey and nog and all sorts of cheap beer if I lived in your vicinity. I'd also bring you dogs for a visit, because who can't be happy around dogs.

Here's some cute + a really old but also cute picture.The Stilly is flooding my street so we can't get back to the bus again.
