In "The Sunday Philosophy Club," the characters explore the emotional states of sociopaths. A conversation reveals curiosity about what sociopaths experience internally. The perspective offered is that they are largely unaffected by emotions, similar to how a cat behaves when it misbehaves—indifferent and unmoved by its actions.

Isabel suggests that this emotional detachment is a natural condition, making a comparison between sociopaths and cats, which tend to display a lack of concern for their wrongdoings. This analogy illustrates the concept of being untroubled by one's own moral failings, highlighting a disconnection from typical emotional responses.
