The boy had also wanted to kill a human and researched how to 'get away with murder', according to the prosecutor at London's Highbury Corner Youth Court.
Two kittens were found cut open with ropes attached to them in a park in northwest London in May.
Both kittens had pieces of flesh and fur apparently burned off them. Police also found knives, blowtorches and scissors at the scene.
The two teenagers pleaded guilty to possessing a knife and causing unnecessary suffering to the animals. Neither can be named for legal reasons.
