ReportSynopsis
A large spider from the jungles of South America is accidentally transported in a crate with a dead body to America where it mates with a local spider. Soon after, the residents of a small California town disappear as the result of spider bites from the deadly spider offspring. It's up to a couple of doctors with the help of an insect exterminator to annihilate these eight legged freaks.

There is a dead cat in the spiderweb about 3/4 of the way through. It's very obviously a fake but still. There is also a dead rat. Neither were killed onscreen.

No, but one character is cramping and declaring to have a heart attack. They are in reality however being poisoned by a spider bite.
One doctor also declares a lot of people who died from spider bites to supposedly have died from heart attacks.

Two characters have a fight over rather some deaths are heart attacks or not. But no gaslighting. Neither of them doubts their own opinion or the other's sanity.

A crow is bitten by the spider and dies. A mouse is injected with spider venom and dies. Lots of dead animals (that look super fake) caught in spider webs: mouse, rat, bat, maybe a cat.

Of course a bunch of spiders die, but in the webs there are a bunch of dead animals, including some rats, a bat, one cat, etc. No living cats that we see die.

Depends how you define major character. None of the characters this movie strongy centers around die.
Major side characters with several scenes do die however.

Spiders have multiple eyes. The worst part would probably be the spider egg sac that pulsates and could trigger trypophobia.
