It wasn’t “only a cat”. If you don’t like cats please keep it to yourself. This site is about animals being abused and killed. Not just dogs. A sweet, pretty cat that the lead befriends is horribly murdered, and it’s mutilated body shown up close.

Not shown, but the oral descriptions of previous murder cases include the details of a cow’s throat being slit and having its blood poured onto a human victim, a parakeet being stuffed into another victim’s body, and a burnt pigeon (briefly shown in a decades-old, black and white photo) to another victim’s neck.

Since some people like myself can handle dead/quickly-dying animals fine, but are conversely EXTREMELY triggered by abuse/slow suffering/torture, I wouldn't categorize this as abuse.
Its grotesque, but you don't see/hear the cat suffer, and you don't see/hear it die, and the reaction from the protagonists is appropriate and relatable.

Around 1 hr and 29min he'll leave his computer and open the door and yell "FU**". At this point you should immediately look away, there is a very graphic and realistic looking dead cat.
