Lawyer Enters Virtual Court Hearing With Cat Filter Activated, Clarifies That He Is "Not A Cat"

This may be the best thing to happen in 2021 so far. A Texas lawyer entered a court hearing over the popular video conference app, ZOOM, accidentally having activated a cat filter. Of course, the incident soon went viral on Twitter and everyone can't get enough of the hilarious mishap. In the video, Attorney Rod Ponton struggles to deactivate the adorable and silly kitten filter, Judge Roy B. Ferguson can be heard trying to help Ponton saying, "Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in your video settings."

Upon hearing this, Ponton reassures the judge that he is there to live and that he is in fact not a cat. Honestly, you just have to see it because it's simply too good.

And strangely enough, this isn't the first time this has happened and now we're confident that it'll most likely happen again. Back in June 2019, Pakistan's Prime Minister, Imran Khan, live-streamed a government meeting on Facebook, with a cat filter activated. I guess it's true what they say, history is doomed to repeat itself!
