[SPOILERS] Big plot point in Episode 8, it kind of leads up to it and almost comes out of nowhere. Due to the nature of it, it could be triggering to anyone who's lost a pet, regardless of species. Episode can safely be skipped.
Sort of yes and no, because Meow isn't actually a cat he's an anthro alien that shares a few features of one (A bit axolotl-ish too) and is referred to despite constantly correcting he's a betelgeusian. Characters kind of die in multiple episodes but come back later, him included. Episode 3 can be particularly unsettling though for it with how it's set up. I'd recommend looking him up, and maybe watching his first appearance to get an idea for what you can handle. (As someone highly triggered by this particular trigger, I can handle it okay myself with just a bit of skipping here and there)
