After a clip of the jibe was circulated on social media, opposing fans endorsed it. “Man City fans chanting ‘that’s how your cat felt’ to Zouma as he was hurt,” one posted with a crying emoji. Another reply was received: “That’s the minimum he can expect. I hope he endures the entire season.” “He should be sentenced to jail, not make millions on a field,” another said.
Supporters of the French Ligue 1 team Lens meowed in unison every time Zouma hit the ball during a pre-season match last week. When he arrived at St James’ Park, Newcastle United fans brandished blow-up cats in the audience. And West Ham managers worry that the French international will be harassed everywhere he goes. A
fter pleading guilty to two counts of animal abuse. Zouma was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and barred from owning cats for 5 years in June. He was seen on camera volleying his Bengal puss, hurling a pair of footwear at it. And smacking its head, promising, “I promise I’ll kill it.”
