Can a sociopath bond with a pet?

Frankly-: A sociopath may bond with a cat or kill it. It depends on if the right kind of connection is made.

Yes: This can happen, even in cases of prior cruelty to animals, albeit it does not happen often. The correct clinical term for sociopathy is antisocial personality disorder.
