You CAN generalize the behaviour of cats! The highest possible well-being of the cat is unfortunately not the most significant factor. House cats are by many metrics (eg extirpation of birds and mammals) the most destructive species on the planet. If the world cannot be protected from a cat because it can't be safely homed as an indoor animal, even if it has to accept some unhappiness in the process, then the cat needs to be destroyed.
