Sheriff Neil Douglas deferred sentence for three weeks for psychiatric reports and continued Docherty's bail. He was escorted to a waiting vehicle by police amid jeers from protesters.
Docherty, who is from Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, committed the offences in January.
He caused the animals unnecessary suffering by screaming at them, pinching them and taping their paws together. All of the cats were decapitated, two were scalped, and one had its tail pulled off.
He was charged under the Animal Health and Welfare Act of 2006. After pleading guilty last month, Docherty was granted bail with special conditions which prevent him from having any contact with animals.
His sentencing was deferred for psychiatric and full background reports.
