Cato lets go of Peeta and Peeta shoves him to the ground where the muttations attack him in his body armor for a long time before dragging him off into the woods.
Katniss feels pity for him and concern for Peeta who is bleeding heavily from a gash in his leg. She ties a tourniquet, which she worries will make him lose his leg but may be the only chance to save his life.
She makes Peeta stay awake during the night so he does not succumb to his injuries while they listen to Cato slowly dying. She finally climbs down the Cornucopia and shoots Cato with an arrow, killing him. She takes the poisonous berries from her pouch and they both take some in their hands.
They decide to risk them both dying rather than have one kill the other. As they put the berries in their mouth, the announcer shouts at them to stop and announces them as the winners of the Seventy-fourth annual Hunger Games. As Katniss flees the feast, she sees Cato kneel beside Clove and beg her to stay with him. However, Clove soon succumbs to her injuries. By this time, Thresh has stolen both his own backpack and Cato's, which is most likely what motivates Cato to pursue Thresh instead of Katniss.
Presumably, Cato follows Thresh and kills him. Katniss speculates that the District 2 backpack contained body armor to fend against her arrows. On the last day of the Games , wolf-like muttations appear out of nowhere, chasing a bloodied and beaten Cato out of the woods. Katniss and Peeta think he is on his way to kill them, so Katniss shoots an arrow at his chest, but it bounces off since he is wearing some sort of body armor that was thought to be in District 2's backpack.
The two race after him after catching sight of the mutts. Once on top of the Cornucopia, Cato takes a few moments to catch his breath before he grabs Peeta in a headlock, effectively cutting off his ability to breathe. When Katniss points an arrow at his head, Cato merely laughs and points out that if she shoots him, Peeta will fall to the mutts as well. Katniss figures out that if Peeta dies, Cato will use his body as a shield against her arrows. Almost out of options, Peeta shakily draws an "X" in blood on Cato's hand with his finger.
Katniss then shoots her arrow into Cato's hand, forcing him to reflexively release Peeta and fall to the mutts. At first, Cato fights the mutts off, as the sound of his sword against the Cornucopia can be heard for a long time. Eventually, despite his great strength and skill, he is disabled, and the mutts brutally attack him for what seems like hours, as he is too exhausted to defend himself.
When dawn comes, Katniss can't take Cato's moans of pain and despair any longer and decides to use her last arrow to end his suffering. With Peeta's help, she leans down into the mouth of the Cornucopia and finds a savagely bloodied Cato lying at the back. He mouths the word "please," and out of pity, not vengeance, she shoots the arrow into his head, killing him instantly. In the film, Cato's death is slightly different.
Unlike the novel, he is already on top of the Cornucopia - bloodied and beaten - before Katniss and Peeta arrive. He manages to attack both tributes at once in a last desperate attempt to kill them and puts Peeta in a headlock while Katniss is distracted by the mutts.
When she turns around, ready to shoot Cato with her bow, he points out to her that if she shoots him, both he and Peeta will fall to the mutts. He then rants about how the Capitol has made him into a pawn, as all he knows how to do is kill and his only goal in life is to bring pride to his district. When he falls to the mercy of the mutts, he does not suffer for very long, as Katniss shoots an arrow into his head almost seconds after his fall. Due to post-traumatic stress, Katniss begins to have frequent nightmares about the arena , one of which involves Cato dying at the claws of the mutts.
She later admits that most of the deaths in the Games were not very pretty, thinking specifically of Cato's and Glimmer's ends. Katniss later visits District 2 on her Victory Tour and see Cato's grieving family among the spectators. Katniss recounts the bloodlust of tributes from District 2 , including Cato. She thinks of Cato several times, the first being when she encounters mockingjays , an incident which causes her to remember how the birds had started singing just before the mutts had "gnawed Cato to a bloody pulp.
Katniss later visits District 2 and recalls seeing Cato's grieving family during the Victory Tour. While sitting in the entrance hall of the Justice Building , she recalls the weariness of visiting District 2 on the Victory Tour, as it had been hard to be reminded of Cato and Clove , particularly Cato, who had died such a gruesome death.
In the novel, Cato's physical appearance is not addressed beyond Katniss's observations that he is a "physical wonder," with a robust stature and powerful, visibly well-muscled arms. He is the second largest tribute, only being slightly smaller than Thresh. He is capable of snapping a neck with his bare hands and demonstrates his raw physical power several times throughout the novel, most notably when he single-handedly fights off a pack of muttations for over an hour.
In the film, he retains his powerful figure, towering over the other tributes at six-foot-two, shorter only than Marvel. He has short-cropped, slightly spiked blond hair and blue eyes. Having been raised in District 2 , a district with strong ties to the Capitol and general enthusiasm for the Hunger Games , Cato is aggressive, bloodthirsty, and violent.
Katniss can see that the creatures are muttations. From a distance, they look like wolves but are able to balance on their hind legs. She follows Cato toward the Cornucopia and starts climbing, then remembers Peeta with his hurt leg. He lags behind and she shoots an arrow at one of the creatures. Peeta tells her to climb and she listens.
Once at the top, she finds Cato struggling to recover, gagging over the side. Peeta still needs her help, so she shoots another of the creatures down, then helps Peeta up the Cornucopia's metal side. She can see that the creatures have razor-sharp claws and are able to spring high off the ground with their strong legs. There's something eerie about the creatures, something human, and Katniss soon realizes that they each represent one of the dead tributes, their fur color matching the tributes' hair, their eyes the very same, and the numbers around their necks corresponding to the districts from which they came.
She's horrified to see the " Rue " muttation, the same dark hair and brown eyes, and wonders about their brains, whether they have any of the tributes' memories or they've been programmed only to hate those who have survived the Games so far.
The muttations continue leaping, and one is able to grab Peeta's leg. Katniss grabs his arm and is eventually able to pull him back up, but he's been bitten badly and is bleeding profusely. Then Cato recovers and gets Peeta in a headlock. Katniss can see that he wears a skin-tight mesh armor, but his head is exposed. Glad you liked it, was a bit disappointed by the books overall but it will be interesting to see how they adapt Mockingjay.

And so… THG films might seem a bit soft, but the books tell the reader in graphic detail how all of these tributes are plucked out of their districts and put into an arena full of…pus.
