Possibly. It looked as if the real cat had been anesthetized or otherwise drugged to create the scene in which it was depicted as dead.

It happens off-screen, but there is a brief shot of the dead cat. It's not particularly graphic.

The female patient is not listened to and is talked down to by the male doctor. She is also left bleeding, restrained and exposed, calling for help.
