Mohaemd Salah owns two Siamese cats, which he frequently mentions on his social media accounts during breaks. They’re adorable.
Salah previously spoke out against Egypt’s plan to deport stray cats and dogs that make the streets their home, indicating that he is an animal lover.
Thus, Thursday evening’s tweet with a video – which included footage of Salah and his cats – was not entirely unexpected. The striker posted a public service announcement-style video with narration about all the wonderful things that animals are and can be, intercut with footage of himself and others with the animals they adore the most.
To provide a brief respite from the world’s bleak news, here’s a little more than a minute’s worth of Salah and his cats, as well as people and their pets.
Salah asserted that animals are more than that. Even snakes and other reptiles are included (giving this writer the shivers).
