The throat was relatively vulnerable for most creatures, yes, and this proved true for the corrupted cat as the impact of the apple on it's throat caused another fit of coughing. One which Sylvando again took advantage of adding a few more sword cuts to the creature's growing collection. It was obviously weakening, abut also far too angry at this point to stop fighting, swiping at Sylvando with its claws.

He ducked aside as the next apple hit the side of the creatures neck with much less impact than the previous one. Though a quick glance at Mal showed that this had likely been a deliberate move on her part. So when the cat creature began to stalk closer to her in a bit of a wider arc, hoping to come at her from the side, Sylvando followed it, keeping watch on them both and ready to take advantage of it when Mal made her next move.
