West Ham United and France defender Kurt Zouma pleads guilty to kicking and slapping pet cat

West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has pleaded guilty to kicking and slapping his cat, with sentencing to take place next month. The France international admitted two offences under the Animal Welfare Act, while his brother — Yoan Zouma — pleaded guilty to one charge.

Zouma admitted two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. Ms Stevens added: «Since this footage was put in public domain there has been a spate of people hitting cats and posting it on various social media sites.

»Their behaviour falls short of what is expected of a high-profile image." The court has been adjourned until a sentencing hearing on June 1.
