'I’m not a cat': lawyer gets stuck on Zoom kitten filter during court case
A lawyer showed up to virtual court in the 394th district of Texas with a kitten filter turned on, the cat moving its lips and eyes, as Rod Ponton said he and his assistant were attempting to remove the filter during the court case.
The judge later posted the snipped and wrote: 'If a child used your computer before you join a virtual hearing, check the Zoom video options to be sure filters are off. This kitten just made a formal announcement on a case in the 394th.'

It's not, actually it's one of the funniest things that could have happened this year
Jerry L. Phillips' reaction: ......😐🤨😏
Just imagine how much happiness is being brought to people watching this! The world over!
*Meanwhile* : Jerry L. Philips takin a power nap till he hears the word *'cat'*
"I am not a cat" *Sounds like a cat would say that*
*im not a cat*
I like how the Judge talks to the cat like he's a cat real slow..so kitty cat will understand what the human is saying to the kitty cat.
It's so cute XD
The way he looks at the bottom left, that's undeniable sheer unadulterated panic
"im not a cat" how dumb, thats as dumb as someone saying "im not dead"
"I am not a cat." That's exactly what a cat would say.
Hes so old and donw with this!
Im prepared to.go forward with it.🤣🤣😂😂

"Judge, get meowt of here! I'm not the purr-petrator!"
I like how there are so serious about it
Love how it says "recording this hearing gets you fined 500 and up to half a year behind bars" and still one of the involved parties so totally did.
I used this app wayback Nov on All Saints day chatting with my daughter using the vampire effects.
Wow the guy who recorded this is in for a $500 fine and up to 180 prison days :(
Gasp!!hez an animagus
"I'm a cat but I identify as being an attorney..."
Nintendo wasn’t kidding when they said everything will become a cat in Bowsers Fury
Idk if i'm the only one that feels sorry for the lawyer. My dad is a lawyer too and he always calls me if he has a problem with his computer, i can only imagine my dad in that situation u.u
Well, at least he gave the world something to chuckle at.
The fear in those eyes
"I am not a cat"
I love how he has to confirm that he's not a cat
"Judge, get meowt of here! I'm not the purr-petrator!"

0:12 AHHhhh...
Well which is it mr zuckleford?
Shirakami Fubuki tries to convince people she’s not a cat:
"im not a cat" well duh!! really?!
Someone got a fine of up to 500 dollars and a jail term of up to 180 days for recording this but it was worth it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Plot twist : The lawyer is actually a cat who forgot to turn his human filter on.
2021-One rare hilarious video on a dark day had me laughing like anything till I almost fell off my chair. I love kitty's eyes. Thanks for sharing.

The cat lawyer should have his own channel on YT.
😂
We can all agree that he is infact a cat, right?
I think everyone should have just put on a cat filter to make the meeting cohesive
Kafka's Mewamorphosis
Since when did they allow cats to be lawyers?
If he meowed I would’ve fell over lol!
😂
they're laughing. he's not a cat, and they're laughing.
Funny how it says that recording of that livestream is strictly prohibited, but how could you not screen record something like this??
Well this definitely is not a kangaroo court.
“I’m not a cat” is exactly what a cat pretending to be a lawyer would say.
I’m not a cat and Joe Biden won the election with the most votes in history.
Keith Gill sent me here
This is why we do the court cases in person
The cat lawyer should have his own channel on YT.
"I am not a cat." Judge: "of course you're not. You're a darn cute kitten though."
Im here live, I am not a cat!
Your Honor, the burden of proof of not being a cat is on him. lols!
How many lawyers does it take to turn off a zoom filter?
lol "im not a cat" that has got to be the dumbest thing i ever heard.
That judge is sus
Poor lad...
Of course he's not a cat.... He's an genetically altered lab mouse trying to take over the world!

I absolutely love how Phillips is not really paying attention until her hears "I'm not a cat" and looks up.
I'm just happy that I could put a comment on the same year. See you all again in 10 years!

"Recording of this hearing or livestream is prohibited" uhhh
"I'm a lawyer I'm not a cat" You can be both at the same time.
the lawyer cat has brought great joy to all Americans.
I love how the other (lawyer?) looks really bored until the other guy says, "I'm not a cat!" and then he lifts his eyes up and smiles. Love it!
Puuurrrrrrrrfect
“I’m not a cat,” no, you’re a kitten!
I have probably been responsible for 100 of these views. 😬
Mr. Ponton is a purrfect name for a cat.
This is so cute! Attorney Ponton, this- and all kind of other things- happens on the daily on Zoom! Bless you, you made me laugh today and it makes all this technology a little more human 💜
I dont trust a lawyer and certainly not a cat. I think he is a filter pretending to be man with a cat
I absolutely love how Phillips is not really paying attention until her hears "I'm not a cat" and looks up.
