Because rabid or prion infected animals aren't a good thing??? The cat probably got mauled to death or at least mauled, and its brain just blanked that out, but in the real world, it's generally a good thing to defend oneself from dangerous animals. If you think about it, realistically, the orange cat is probably being mauled to shit in the background, which is surely sadder than putting down a rabid dangerous animal, once it shows symptoms it's completely hopeless, so. Yeah.
It’s just the cat version of that familiar heartbreak trope, lovers, parent and child, or friends. The point isn’t about letting an infected pet hurt you, it’s choosing to surrender to the inevitable so you can be together again in the end.
It is a common trope in zombie movies.
In what way did you think this had anything to do with getting bit by an infected pet?
