Jose Mourinho mocks Kurt Zouma over cat abuse incident

Jose Mourinho, former Chelsea manager, made a pointed joke at his former player Kurt Zouma's expense during an interview with John Obi Mikel. When asked if he preferred dogs or cats, Mourinho replied dogs, adding, "I'm not Kurt Zouma," referencing Zouma's 2022 scandal where he was filmed abusing a cat. Zouma was fined and sentenced to 180 hours of community service, with a ban on owning cats for five years. Mourinho's comments highlight his own preference for dogs and his willingness to make light of controversial issues. Despite the incident, Zouma has expressed remorse and moved on with his career, now playing in the Saudi Pro League. Mourinho's joke was well-received during the interview, eliciting laughter from Mikel.
