Horror buffs are discussing their limits when it comes to the extremes of the genre, whether that's because of body horror, torture, or animal abuse.

"Animal abuse, hard no from me," said one user as part of a discussion on Reddit. "Yeah; even fairly quick deaths are hard," agreed someone else. "Such a bummer Flanagan seems to be so dead-set on punishing felines." Mike Flanagan, the helmer of shows like The Haunting of Hill House and movies like Doctor Sleep, is infamous for making feline characters reach an untimely end.
