Celebrating The Walking Dead’s Shiva on International Cat Day – Undead Walking

There have been quite a few animals on The Walking Dead and they dont always make it out alive. From horses to dogs to furry forest creatures, nothing is safe. The season 7 finale saw King Ezekiels tiger Shiva swooping in to save the day. No one, positively no one, saw her coming. And thats why I hope she sticks around.

Let me make my customary disclaimer here: I havent read The Walking Dead comics. I dont know what Shivas fate is, just as I dont know the fate of anyone else on the show. Id just like, for once, to see an animal survive on the show if only to see it happen. And if youre going to keep an animal around, it ought to be a badass tiger.

The problem with pet tigers on The Walking Dead is the same problem with having three dragons on Game of Thrones namely, theyre expensive to bring to life. CGI effects are not cheap, so you dont see these creatures very often. Thats all the more reason to keep Shiva around, right? We dont have to see her all the time, just every now and then when having a tiger around would be cool. Preferably with Jerry around. Shiva and Jerry are great together.

So on this International Cat Day, lets give props to everyones favorite tiger Shiva, and thank her for all of the great things she did to save the day in Alexandria. And lets also send positive thoughts her way that she lasts longer than the other animals on The Walking Dead.

The Walking Dead returns on October 22 on AMC.
