A lawyer appearing before a judge at a virtual court case via Zoom appeared on screen as a cat - after not realising a filter was switched on.
Rod Ponton was 'feline' fine as he entered the zoom call held in Texas, but should've 'paws-ed' before switching his camera on.
Rod's child had used the computer before him and left a cat filter on. Fur-real!
Trying to avoid a 'cat-astrophe', Judge Roy Ferguson quickly gave Mr Ponton a heads-up that he had appeared on the chat as a white fluffy kitten.

Nice one🤣🤣
All that stuff about alien lizard people, deep state satanists, illuminati etc is all just to keep us distracted. Now they have released video conferencing software with “cat filters” to cover for when they forget to turn on their “human filter”.

something about the cute kitty filter mixed with his Texas accent and his frantic voice + eyes makes this so damn funny
Couldn't agree more
@The Weeknd rlly good
The nervous Uuuuuuuggggh was the start but the looking down to the right really got me when the whites of the eyes showed. Everything hit just right, waiting for more memes to come out of this fiasco.
& the EYES! looking down and away all worried.
Is that what it is?? I felt like I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did, but it was inexplicably hilarious.
“I’m not a cat” sounds like something a cat that’s undercover would say...

Lawyer: "I'm not a cat." Judge: "I can see that." Me: "No you can't."
Let the lawyer make what they are good at. (Lying)
I wouldn't want that judge! Me: BUT Your Honor, I'm INNOCENT!! Judge: (Puts on glasses) I CAN'T see that...
He didn't believe the cat, he just wanted to play it cool

My exact thoughts too🤓
I keep coming back to this because it is so funny. They should totally get this guy to be a voice actor for a cat in a movie.
Yeah! A cat that is a lawyer!
A nervous, obvious and honest cat 😂
"I'm not a cat" said the cat, losing all credibility before the judge.

Is it just me,, or did his voice suite him better as a cat😸
I really thought of that a lot!!!!!!

He’ll be a very good voice over for a Disney movie or something
"I'm not a cat" "Activate the human filter". The cat lawyer said to his assistant secretly.
Something about the terror in his voice, mixed with the sad look of the cat is just GOLD!
Terror will come when u talking to a judge
ikr
hahhahahhahahahha
"I'm not a cat" Sounds exactly like a cat trying to convince people he is human.

I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. The other lawyer's face when he says "I'm not a cat" is priceless. I feel bad for him, but we all needed a laugh so badly during lockdown, this is really a wonderfully positive thing.
Bless this guy for being such a good sport. His voice is what makes it viral. “I’m not a cat” in that charming accent is priceless. 😂
Yeh there’s something very disarming about the way he said that, as if he’d actually been turned into a cat and was desperately trying to hold on to his professional dignity and respect.
LOL the cat is crying like he's done something wrong and feels guilty about it
YES
Yes he is so cute!!
🤣🤣🤣😿
Priceless! And his voice with a kitten face- I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That cat has been guilty of numerous war crimes.

It’s his expressions while a cat. This will never get old.
I love the reactions of the other lawyers. One puts his glasses on to enhance his viewing experience and the other seems like this isn’t the first time a cat has appeared in zoom court

I thought the same 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not trying to be a downer, but i don't think so at all. He sounds more like a bear or possibly a dog. But not a cat.
I love the little nod the cat does at the “It is”

Everyone involved in that meeting handled it with grace, dignity and made the world laugh. Loved it.
Rod Ponton has comic timing that most professional comedians would kill for.
"I'm not a cat" Sounds suspiciously like what a cat in disguise would say!
Can't can't speak stupid !!
😂😂 And now he's got his human filter working again!
The cat was sad because the human filter didn't turn on.
Fluffles? How did you survive the ambush?
Only one way to find out. Break out the laser pointer.
The judge talks to him like he’s 4. “I THINK ITS A FILTER” “I CAN SEE THAT”
Lol
Lol
Love the colleague who put on glasses to get a better look!
The quote is wrong
It's the south. Some places are behind wheb it comes to technologies. The judge is younger than these lawyers from what I've seen. He's trying his best not to offend these oldies.
His voice is too funny. I think they should make a character with that cat and his voice.
I will NEVER get tired of seeing this and I will always laugh until I cry when I watch it!!! His voice...the adorable cat...the movements of it's mouth...the voice saying, "I'm not a cat." I can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!! So cute and so funny!!!
"I'm not a cat" You do realize that you are under oath Mr. Whiskers?
He's looking away as of he's ashamed seems kinda sus to me
the cat a bit sus lets vote him

@hey beans ...
Lmiao 😹
*"Recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited"* Welp-

Yeah, I saw that too
The judge probably released it, lol
They released it because of the funny circumstances
They had to release it because they couldn't charge everyone. It was going to be all over the internet so they had no choice.
The 3rd dude trying not to laugh at the ‘I’m not a cat’ was oddly enough was one was my favourite parts of it

The combination of the sad cat frantically looking around, and the panic barely contained in the lawyer's voice is what made this such gold
kzhead.info/sun/dtGpYbZvnaSOiq8/bejne.html ..
They could turn this into a TV show. Have the real lawyer do the voice for that same cat. And he can do a judge Judy type of show. Where normal people appear before the cat to have their legal disputes adjudicated. Call it Cat court
It's the voice and the eye movements for me. 2 years later and I am still cackling at this.
His assistance: his granddaughter who put the filter on.
And thats the main reason of why people should buy their child/grandchild his/her own computer

Man, I really needed this laugh today. This is one of the all-time funniest things I've ever seen on the internet. The lawyer has a great attitude about the whole thing, which makes it even better.

@@benjaminchen1964 that's awesome! Then he'd say, "I don't know why I just did that. Meow."

The cat filter has so much emotion, and looks like it's being held hostage while making one final plea to be rescued.😄
If he was facing a judge that entirely lacks any sort of humor, the cat’s expression would be very well warranted.
the voice of the lawyer just melts my heart 🥰 how cute... he handled it very well 😀
The fact it happened during a serious court case makes it even funnier.
“I’m not a cat!”😂😂😂😂😂😂 Poor guy was humiliated but this was hilarious!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waiting for this to become a meme
You got to love the guy tho😂✌🏻 made everyone days!
His grandkids nieces &newphews are having a ball of laughs lmao
Humiliated? More like glorified by the whole world
Not really
He sounds nearly crying while the cat looks nearly crying. The voice matches the image perfectly.
ikrr 😂😂
Right?! I can’t decide what makes me laugh more the image with the crazy eyes or the voice in distress
Sir, you have the perfect voice for this!! Glad you have a sense of humor so that we can feel free to laugh "with" you not at you!! Loved it, and have watched it many times! :)
His voice matches more with the cat's facial expression than his own lol

"So you hired a professional lawyer for our case?" The lawyer: "I'm not a cat..."
I'm pretty sure he was the defense lawyer for Henry Lee Lucas, the serial killer. He helped him clear his name in multiple cases where he was wrongfully accused. Watch the last episode of The Confession Killer, on Netflix. Blew my mind when I realised this is the same guy!

Respect to the Judge and that other two lawyers for maintaining decorum and dignity in the face of overwhelming funniness. I couldn't have done it, and would have been in tears laughing so hard.

I would have played with that moment a little bit if I were the judge: “Mr. So&So! I can CLEARLY see that you ARE indeed a cat! Are you aware that PURRRRJURY is a punishable offense??” 🤣

OMG this works on so many levels. To me the funniest part is early on when his exasperated catspression with "can you hear me judge?" The eye movements teh little face- and the '"I'M READY TO MOVE FORWARD" are funnier to me than the "I'm not a cat
