  Nah, when a cat's not hungry, it can be incredibly cruel.
  We have 2 cats - the aforementioned hellbitch and her first kitten.
Rascal brought in a live deermouse one night and the 2 cats tortured
that mouse for nearly 4 hours. They would pick it up & carry it without
biting, bat it around with claws retracted, and let the mouse get nearly
to cover before heading it off. I had some cracked ribs and a head-full
of codeine, and couldn't catch the dern thing to put it out. When I did
catch it after 4 hours, the mouse was exhausted, but I don't think it
was seriously injured.
  That's the night Rascal earned the "hellbitch" title....

See ya later,
