Yes
an animal is sad
spoiler
No, but it’s a little sad to think about how he saw his owner get killed and then the cat is left with the body in the apartment (though the cat seems more concerned with being happy he got dry food). It is told earlier a friend was going to come take care of the cat while the owner was out of town; this tells me someone will be there eventually to take care of the cat and he won’t be alone for long!

The killer ends up putting cat food in the bowl because the food bowl was empty and the cat is seen happily eats its nom noms in the next scene.

a woman is brutalized for spectacle
spoiler
Everyone’s death was a spectacle. Other women might feel differently, but as a woman I didn’t feel like women were given any particularly special treatment.
The only thing that comes to mind is *SPOILERS* that the store owner’s wife is cooked like a turkey, and the killer tries to force the owner to eat a slice of her leg meat. So that’s sort of special treatment, but it didn’t strike me in the moment.

Slight spoilers below, including one character death spoiler.
there’s two very close to each other in the first half, and one near the ending.
The first two happen at a party scene.
1) We are introduced to this party scene following the dialogue of “Evan’s right, the police aren’t doing anything.” Right after this line it cuts to an outside shot of a house where a man runs outside and v*s with visual and audio, maybe about 3-5 seconds. You do see some remains of it on the character’s face after it takes place. The party host says something about “another satisfied customer” and you do hear another g*g in the background.
2) Maybe about a minute later or so, the main group enters the party after the host says something like “let this group in as VIP”. There is a shot of the party taking place in the living room, and then there is an audio of v* and g*. This one was maybe only a second or two.
3) The final scene is near the climax of the film, during the dinner party portion. The killer says “Kathleen has been cooking all day” and uncovers her body. Her husband, Thomas is then panned to and there is a visual and audio shot of him v* for about 3-5 seconds. Throughout the rest of the scene there is visual of v* remains on his chin.
