Yes - with the caveat that other mammalian predators do, to a lesser extent, kill for killins sake when theyre kept perpetually sated in the same way housepets are. Theres definitely a selective edge to cats all-consuming bloodlust that is directly attributed to anthropogenic evolution, though. This (and the fact that I live in a region with the full varietypack of North American KittyMunchers, and the dramatically lower lifespans of outdoor cats due to disease, predation, and accidents) is why when I have my own Felis silvestris catus, they will be indoor cats with a closed outdoor patio. No study has, to my knowledge, ever suggested that indoor cats are, by any of the metrics by which we can examine the question in nonlinguistic people, less happy than outdoor cats as a whole. The idea that they are is the same anthropomorphic fallacy that drives a lot of (though not all) antizoo bias*.
