"What happened to them?" The cat said they died, and he doesn't have a reason to doubt that, but between it being attached to these Rules and the way there seems to be something left over that still wants to live (assuming that's what those are; it's only a guess but it's the best one he has for now), he suspects there's a more specific answer. He tried to ask what happens to people who break the rules when he first got there. Maybe he'll finally get an answer.
