74th Hunger Games
In the cornucopia bloodbath, Cato participated in killing three tributes. Afterwards, he formed an alliance with Marvel, Glimmer, Clove, Neuro, Azora, and Peeta. Before dawn of day two, Cato and his alliance came across Savannah. Cato injured her and she was killed by Peeta.

On day four, Cato and his alliance chased Katniss up a tree. None of the careers could reach her at how high she was in the tree so they made camp at the base of the tree. In the morning of day five, Katniss dropped a tracker jacker nest on them. Cato ran from the tracker jackers and eventually escaped them after they all attacked Glimmer and Azora. Cato returned to near the tree that Katniss was in and found Peeta helping Katniss escape. Cato stabbed Peeta in the leg and left him in the forest.

On day eight, Cato kills Neuro after Katniss causes the mines to go off and destroying all of the careers' supplies.

On day ten, when the tributes are informed that two tributes from the same district can survive, Cato and Clove began to talk more about their lives back in District 2 and began to bond and become closer than they had allowed themselves to before the rule change.

Cato and Clove remain in the forest near the cornucopia until the feast when they wait for Katniss to arrive. When they see Katniss arriving, Clove runs to her and attacks her. After Clove is killed and Thresh takes Cato's pack from the feast table, Cato chases Thresh and tracks him for a day and a half. When Cato finds Thresh the two fight for almost a whole day but ends when Cato stabs Thresh through the chest with his sword. Cato then takes his bag back which gives him near-impenetrable armor.

On day seventeen, Cato is the first to be attacked by the wolf muttations and he runs past Katniss and Peeta and the three make it to the cornucopia. Cato grabs Peeta and holds him around the neck until Katniss shoots Cato in the hand and Peeta pushes him over the edge and he is mauled but not killed due to his armor. Early on day eighteen Katniss shoots him in the head with an arrow out of mercy.
