I really doubt "pleasure" is the real point to shooting feral cats in the boonies. I can't speak for folks in town.
House cats are an introduced, non-native predator which kill from pure instinct as well as for food. Whatever pleasure I might derive from killing one is the same pleasure I get from any clean kill or any small group on a target: Satisfaction at doing something correctly.
As near as I can tell, this attitude is the same for most who are regular outdoorsmen, whether city-dweller or farmer/rancher.
Separately, I fully understand anger because somebody hurts one's pet. But it's Keyboard Kommando BS to yowl and howl about shooting that person, or else a previously unrealized desire to enrich defense attorneys and spend lengthy periods of time in the Graybar Hotel.
