I’LL never forget how Arsenal manager George Graham used to tell us: “Remember who you are, where you are and who you represent.”
Kurt Zouma has very clearly lost sight of who he is representing and has really let his team down.
After The Sun published the video of him abusing that poor cat, so many fans were rightly disgusted.
To see him starting on Tuesday night horrified many Hammers supporters.
It was just so disappointing to see this kind of behaviour – he clearly has no idea what it means to own a pet.
He’s said this was an isolated incident – surely the majority of people if they saw this for the first time wouldn’t laugh like his brother does in the video.
You can’t claim a cat is well looked after when he treats it like that.
He’ll be followed by this for the rest of his career.
People might be wondering if the club were unable to change the line up ahead of the match.
Players are decided an hour before kick off so that excuse doesn’t fly.
Moyes claims the decision was purely led by football – but the response on social media shows how strongly this nation feels about their pet cats.
When we saw the video we felt sick and really worried about the welfare of the cat.
We found it really hard to sleep that night. We’re relieved to hear his cats have been taken into care.
Both of us have always had cats and now we have two rescues from Cats Protection — Willow and Smokey.
We also often foster pregnant and feral cats which we keep in their own room — some having been treated horribly in abusive situations.
This episode really shows that, no matter who you are, abusing animals is never OK.

We’d love to see him volunteer his time to maybe work with abused animals.
The public will need to see something being done to make up for such cruelty.
This shouldn’t just be swept under the carpet.
