Why do we get so enraged over a cat being burned?

I will grant you that it is extremely cruel, but why is it that there is SO MUCH outrage over this compared to the beheading videos? A lot of people would like to see those two kids get the death penalty for what they did.

What if it was a rat instead of a cat? Rats feel pain just like cats do. However, I doubt any of us would put up too much of a stink over it. Instead of forming a lynch mob, we'd probably lament over the fact that those two poor kids need help.

Now, what if it was a roach being burned alive? Roaches feel pain too. Would the actions be any less cruel? And yet, we'd probably think nothing of it.
