There is a pattern that is clearly established from interviews with sociopaths in prison.
It includes the 'experimenting' of killing pets.
There is much more involved in this then just the killing of a cat.
He knew how much the cat meant to the neighbor.
It was a way of testing the reactions of the cat owner as much as the thrill of killing.
Trying him as adult might be a bad way to go since he would be hanging out with some of the very people he emulates.
The suggestion of a psych ward and intensive therapy might work.
If it doesn't a very close eye needs to kept on this kid.
