History NightmareFuel / Felidae

** Isn't it more about them being more similar to humans than we usually want to admit? Violence, sex, and killing, and even ideological delusions about breeding genetically pure master races, aren't exactly things humans consistantly stay away from either.

* The numerous gruesome deaths in the movie. This includes Felicity's decapitation, and kittens being ripped out of their mother's womb. And no, there is [[AvertedTrope no]] GoryDiscretionShot. Then again, the deaths already happened when Francis gets to them save for Claudandus.

* The numerous [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath family-unfriendly deaths]] in the movie. This includes Felicity's decapitation, and kittens being ripped out of their mother's womb.

* After Francis finds out that Pascal/Claudandus is the one behind the murders, he destroys the computer containing said information on the murders, subsequently causing an electrical fire. The final battle between Francis and Claudandus plays out like [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba and Scar's final battle]], only Claudandus gets clawed in the stomach, ripping it wide open, causing all of his guts to spill out. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giSRmV6oKKc Don't eat anything while watching the scene.]]

** During the cult scene, some cats get electrocuted voluntarily as part of the Claudandus ritual, getting more and more crazed with each jolt. Even Francis [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that what he's watching "is not a scene out of ''Disney/TheAristocats''." In the novel Francis also mentions the Aristocats.

** [[spoiler:Felicity]] is arguably the worst, even compared to [[spoiler:Solitaire and her torn-out kittens.]] Francis finds her [[spoiler: with her head torn off and moved to one side, staring blindly out. What he says later makes it even worse: 'It was as if, even in the moment of her death, she still was straining to see...']]

* The worst part of it all: [[spoiler: Claudandus's plan ''would not have worked''. Like every "master race" madman before him, he operated under a complete misunderstanding of evolutionary theory that really only existed to serve his own ego. All of this was pointless.]]

* [[DerangedAnimation The dream sequences.]] ''ALL OF THEM.''

* The film, like its spiritual cousin ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'', gives a very frank, dark look at what our cuddly, beloved pets are really like. No, obviously they aren't really evil masterminds, nor do they secretly have their own little society behind our backs (probably), but as far as the violence, sex, and killing, that's what cats are really like. We can anthromorphise them all we like, but at the end of the day, cats are not humans. They're a barely domesticated predator species that sticks around because humans offer food and comfort.

''WesternAnimation/{{Felidae}}''. With the plot of a FilmNoir, it is obvious that the novels and the movie are '''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids not]]''' for kids. But the pedigrees how [[NightmareFuel horrifying]] it really is well...
