There is a scene where a character is about to torture and kill a cat by by putting it in a close top grill and what would happen is described briefly but explicitly. The cat scratches him and gets away, and the character has his sense come back to him. The ultimate fate of the cat is not disclosed.
Characters weights frequently referenced in very explicit detail because their weight is affected by the supernatural happenings.
