I think you're both right. I also suspect that my pattern of squick and non-squick would be different if as a child I had seen the Disney movie 101 Holstein Calves, with the little dears trying to escape from Cruella De Vil as she attempts to make a giant spotted leather trenchcoat.
The whole cat-in-bin saga was another reminder that it makes absolutely no sense which animals we consider worth protecting/getting enraged for.
