Kurt Zouma was named in West Ham’s starting line-up against Watford despite his cat-kicking shame.
The French defender was condemned by his club, the RSPCA and other animal welfare groups after a video emerged of him dropping, kicking and slapping his pet cat.
Zouma has apologised for his actions while Essex Police have confirmed they are liaising with the RSPCA as part of their “urgent enquiries”.
Yet despite the widespread revulsion towards the video, Hammers manager David Moyes has controversially stuck with the 27-year-old.
In the video, Zouma is seen kicking and slapping the cat, while laughter can be heard in the background. The France international then chases the animal before throwing a pair of shoes at it and slapping its head.

Tough guy roughing up a house cat. Maybe he’d like to try that with a puma or a tiger.
Another Michael Vick (and friends).
“Zouma has apologised for his actions “
He’s a professional athlete and also must be a Democrat and he apologised so just move on.
