If it's an innocent human, the cat fries. This is a non-innocent human, so save the cat and he can lose his hand.

Which is the whole freakin point of the question. Does the fact that this person is killing a cat gleefullyand for no other benefit than to give him pleasure make him non-innocent?
I say the dude's hand goes.

You missed my point - the way the question was worded, the guy was not innocent, so his hand goes. File it under the legal theory of "you reap what you sow". If the choice was, the cat gets fried or some innocent bystander randomly loses a hand, then the cat dies.
The answer to your question, though, is yes. The fact that this person is gleefully and for no other benefit than to give him pleasure does make him non-innocent.
