The muttations mortally wounded Cato, but did not kill him because he was shielded by body armor.

She loved Cato, and he loved her, but they couldn't tell anyone. No one would sponsor a Career Tribute who loved anyone, especially someone in the arena with them.

Furious, Thresh attacks Clove, killing her by slamming her in the cornucopia until she died.

Cato threatens that if Katniss shoots him, Peeta will go over the side too. Peeta reaches to the gash the muttation left in his leg and draws an "X" in blood on Cato's hand. Cato realizes what he's doing just as Katniss shoots him, and when he lets go Peeta shoves him to the ground below.
Before she takes the stage that night, Haymitch hugs Katniss and gives her a message. He says, “Listen up, You're in trouble.

Feeling no excitement or adrenaline rush or even pride but only fear, not the fear of the games but of loneliness. All that he knew what to do was kill, but now that he had the chance to win it all he only felt dead. No purpose, no excitement. Just Dead.

In the film, Glimmer acts flirtatiously toward Cato. They talk and joke around the fire, she sleeps beside him that night, and even snuggles into his arm. However, the relationship is largely one-sided, and Cato leaves her to die to the tracker jackers.

These wolf-like mutts are not just murderous creatures created to kill those remaining but horrific monsters that resemble the now-dead tributes. The wolf-like mutts act as a physical representation of how the remaining tributes have themselves become murderous monsters throughout the course of the game.
In the 74th Hunger Games, Clove was the only Career tribute who came close to killing Katniss twice — at the Bloodbath and at the Feast, and certainly seemed to have a deep hatred for her, perhaps because Katniss received a higher score than her.
