Why does anyone think catnap is still alive?
Everyone says the prototype missed all his vital organs, but he really didn't. At the back of everyone's mouth is your brain stem, the house where things like your heartbeat, breathing, and other vital functions of your body occur. So, from the looks of it, the prototype stabbed right through catnaps brain stem. That's instant death, just like we saw.
Remember, this is just a discussion, be kind, no one is wrong, at least not until the franchise is over 😊
