Attorney accidentally leaves cat filter on during Zoom call: 'I'm here live, I'm not a cat!'
An attorney in west Texas received some unexpected attention during a Zoom call that involved the face of a friendly cat.
During a virtual court proceeding on Tuesday in the 394th Judicial District Court in Brewster County, Texas, attorney Rod Ponton logged on to the meeting with a cat filter emblazoned across his screen.
In the video, Judge Roy Ferguson warns Ponton, saying "I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings."
Ponton responds saying he's aware and says, "I'm here live, I'm not a cat." The video was posted to the court's KZread page, which houses a series of its virtual streams.

I agree I thought he was trying to use a funny voice because of the cat filter & had no idea it was his real voice. We need to get a petition started for him to be the voice of a cat in a major movie like the animated movie “Pets” if they do a 3rd movie or the animated movie “Sing” when they do the sequel & he needs to be 1 of the main characters. I love everything about this video

I’ve watched this probably a million times. After the initial hilarity of an old southern man’s voice coming out of a cat, the thing that still gets me rolling is exactly this; that he wanted to move forward with the meeting with the filter on. 😂

I was raised by good men from Texas, and bless his heart, he is going to carry out his duty regardless of the circumstances. He is embarrassed but still thinking that procedurally he can carry on with a verbal declaration of his status, he`s not at all thinking about the reactions of the others lol.

I'm not a cat. Words that will live in infamy.

Omg 😆 I’ve two of best weeks first Jackie Weaver at Handforth Parish Council . You have no authority now I’m here live... I’m not a cat. Please let there be a funny viral vid next week. This makes being in lockdown so much more bearable. Happy to go back to Jackie Weaver but I think this is much better because that parish council meeting was 101 how not to have a meeting plus they were bullies. This vid the filter / the facial expression and the voice just fills me with joy and laughter
Do I look like a cat to ya boy? Am I jumpin around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? Well do you see me eating Mice? Now you stop laughing right Meow
I love how the other participants are remaining very composed....

I wonder if he was kitty-ing with the judge? LOL too funny!
Mad respect for whoever risked 180 jail days to bless us with this video
He took an oath to uphold paw and order
His distress and saying I'm not a cat is brilliant
The best part is the cats eyes 👀. 😂😂😂 and him saying he is ready to proceed with it. I would love to see a full on hour of the meeting with the cat filter. 😹😹😹
"I am not a cat"...... "I did not have sex with that woman"..... Classics.
Bless his heart! I feel for this guy! Hats off to his remaining calm and wanting to continue!
The others attorney just has to say. “Your honor; he is obviously a cat. He has lied under oath. Case dismissed.”
I watched this 47 times and laughed harder each time🤣🤣🤣
This guy is so wholesome. I adore him.
Probably the best video so far 😁.. Thanks for this in these tough times 👍🏻
I want to thank the person who risked $500 and 6 months in jail for streaming to the world the funniest video I've ever seen on KZread. A true hero. We all needed this right now.
