Yeah, why is (fake) cruelty to cats okay in films but not cruelty to dogs?

There's this whole meme dating back to Medieval times about cats being evil and aloof and therefore I think it's made it more socially acceptable. Cruelty to dogs is nearly always played for tragedy (unless it's a small—read feminine—dog) but cruelty to cats is somehow funny, and I hate it.

Nayrt, but now that you mention the fact that cruelty to small, feminine, "purse dogs" is played for laughs more often than tragedy, just like cruelty to cats, I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with cats also being "feminine coded".

Because cruelty to women is also often portrayed as humorous, but god forbid something bad happen to the male hero or his male friends.

Definitely that's where the Medieval stereotype about cats came from.

Even thinking of OMitB and Shape of Water, the cat owners were male but they were both very stereotypically gay. Usually it's a woman's cat that suffers.

What. Violence against men, especially when performed by women is played for laughs, same as sexual assault. Rarely the other way around. For titillation, sure. For laughs? Not during the last few decades.

Hot chicks don’t get hurt for laughs anymore unless the joke is that they’re klutzy bimbos.
Pay attention to how fat, unattractive, elderly and/or loud women are treated onscreen.

Violence against women for titillation is just as bad, lbr. It's still reducing the woman in question to an object to be harmed for the amusement of the audience.
