When you see a cat or dog in the trailer for a horror movie, it’s impossible not to get a little nervous. A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel to the John Krasinski-directed mid-apocalyptic pics, puts a cat right in the middle of the turmoil. Frodo (played by two cats named Schnitzel and Nico) is arguably the third-billed star of the new movie, even getting his own featurette. He sticks by Sam (Lupita Nyong’o) throughout the film, becoming a service animal in more ways than one. But, given that it’s pretty easy for a human to die in the A Quiet Place universe, it makes you wonder whether or not a cat would survive the invasion and instead have a tragic horror movie ending (looking at you, Mike Flanagan).
We know that some people might not go see A Quiet Place: Day One unless they know whether Frodo the cat lives or dies – which is why we made this handy explainer. Read on to find out what happens to our fuzzy friend.
