I just watched the movie, I don't remember a cat being poisoned for real. A physics professor lectures about the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment.

Two characters go hunting and bring back a large dead deer on top of their car. You can see the blood on his stomach where he was shot.

Larry has a vivid nightmare about his racist neighbor teaching his son to "hunt Jews." A cop is dismissive and ignorant on being told a family is sitting shiva.

SPOILERS: the main character’s divorce costs $3,000, his doctor calls and says they need to discuss his X-ray results so they are presumably bad, and the son’s Hebrew school is hit by a tornado.

A man is stabbed at the beginning of the movie. Blood stains his shirt. Furthermore, we see the aftermath of a hunted deer - his stomach is bloody. In a dream sequence, a man is shot in the head and you can see the blood spurt out of his head.

In a dream sequence Larry brings his brother to the Canadian border to cross in a boat. Once the brother is rowing away the neighbor shoots him in the head.
