I used to love that movie until one night as a small child, something just snapped in me and I ran into my mom’s room bawling my eyes out. I couldn’t explain why at that age, but the movie felt so wrong from that point forward.
I hate all animal cruelty but shit against cats makes me the angriest. What the fuck is wrong with people? These creatures love and trust us and we treat them in terrible ways.
I checked. It was Japan and not China, but the relevancy is that the US in the 80’s wouldn’t have been allowed to throw a cat off a cliff or get ones pay bitten by a lobster or tossed in a river. Snopes not confirming anything is irrelevant, since there’s actual footage of this stuff happening. Do you have a stress free way of throwing a kitten off of a cliff?
If you want to see more animal endangerment check out Milo & Otis.
They legit threw a cat off a cliff into the ocean for it.

Oh, damn. I just made this same comment before scrolling down further and seeing yours.
Come to find out the whole thing was filmed in China.
Not sure why that’s relevant in any way, especially when it was made in Japan.
Not to mention the fact that there has never been confirmation of animal abuse in the movie, per the snopes article linked under your prior comment.

There is an uncut shot of a cat falling 20-30 feet into an ocean.
If that’s not cruelty I don’t know what is.
