Can someone timestamp where a cat dying is? It's one of my very few triggers, and I can't find where in the series it is anywhere.

Lakes and rivers and such. Specifically, one bathing scene takes place in a lake, and if I remember correctly, another big scene occurs where characters fall into a river.

Yes, but it is never shown in the anime adaptation at all, except for a 3-second silhouette shot in the opening that references it.
In the manga they show her dead corpse hanging from a tree, in the same scene the main character is born.
