I’ve seen cats play with small creatures before killing them, and it’s true you can never be certain you’re not projecting human emotions, but I have to say they give every appearance of having a great time during the killing process.

Perhaps it will become (or is) possible to monitor cats’ brains to assess whether they are (apparently) feeling pleasure.

I’d just as soon the following conjecture hadn’t crossed my mind: Maybe natural selection sometimes favors predators to whom the killing process is a pleasure. (How do feral cats and other felines behave?)
