You should be aware enough of traffic around you to know if slamming the brakes on presents a significant hazard. (And if you can’t react to an animal appearing in the road you’re likely driving too fast for the visibility and conditions)
Luckily I’ve never had to turn a cat inside out, but they frequently dart out infront of vehicles close enough that slamming on the breaks won’t do much even at low speed. I have a friend who’s cat died on a stretch of road that had a 30 km/h speed limit.

One of the best reasons to keep cats indoors, but yeah I said “likely” because exceptions do exist.
