Arsenal playmaker involved in bizarre cat throwing game

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has shared a video of himself playing a ‘cat throwing’ trick on his niece Mira.

The 28-year-old has pretended to throw Mira’s cuddly toy cat but sneakily hides it behind his back. Ozil referred to the event as “Throw Cat Thursday.”

Ozil’s impressive trick seems to have done the trick judging by the smile on Mira’s face.
