Kurt Zouma and his poor cat
Premier League star Kurt Zouma could face an RSPCA probe after video (pictured left and right: Screengrabs of the footage) emerged of the footballer kicking and slapping a Bengal cat - as hundreds have now signed a petition calling for the charity to take action. The shocking footage shows the West Ham defender, 27, laughing as he chases the cat around his £2million London home. They video was taken on Sunday - the day after he appeared for the club in their FA Cup victory over non-league Kidderminster Harriers. Today the RSPCA, which has the power to prosecute in animal welfare cases, has commented on the footage, describing it as 'very upsetting'. And bosses at the charity told MailOnline they could launch an investigation, if a complaint is made. The RSPCA, whose prosecutions carry a maximum sentence of five-years in prison for the most serious of offences, did not reveal if any complaints had yet been made. However social media users have already flooded Twitter with complaints about the video, urging the RSPCA to take action.
