Jose Mourinho aims brutal dig at Kurt Zouma over cat abuse incident

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has taken a brutal dig at former player Kurt Zouma, after he brought up the French defender’s 2022 sentencing for kicking and slapping his cat.

When asked by John Obi Mikel for his Obi One podcast if he preferred cats or dogs, Mourinho answered dogs, revealing his family is "still grieving" the loss of his dog from Christmas Day in 2019.

"But, I have no problem with cats," he added, “I’m not Kurt Zouma.”

Zouma was sentenced to 180 hours of community service over the incident, and was banned from owning cats for five years.
