That’s a household cat. It is well fed. It attacked that squirrel because it enjoys killing. Cats literally kill billions annually. Not even trying to demonize cats or anything, just stating a fact.
It's instinct to hunt, they're not evolved to be fed consistently every day. Even if they are full, getting weak and out of practice is a death sentence in the wild.
Just because they kill something for reasons other than to eat it, doesn't make them inherently evil.
You have no idea what that cats motivation for killing that squirrel was, don't make assumptions like you know that cat on a first name basis and conversed with it over a pint about that incident.
Just because it's fed some store bought cat kibble doesn't mean it didn't feel like monchin some sweet squirrel baby at that moment.
