That's kind of great. I have zero idea how it would work in practice, even aside from the glaring questions of historical accuracy and research, but I'm bewilderedly curious now.

You see my dilemma!

. . . I assume one would do a lot of research about tiger behavior and about what's known about the treatment of arena animals—bestiae—and then hope the voice comes out more like Ratha's Creature than Redwall? This opens the additional problem that, if it turns out she did a good job, I'm not sure I'll want to read a novel about tigers in gladiatorial combat, because I will almost certainly find it very upsetting. But this object exists. It is possible for one or both of us to read it. Or get skygiants to do it.
