“I’m not a cat”: Lawyer struggles to remove filter during virtual court case

"Can you hear me? I'm here live. I'm not a cat."

Following the Jackie Weaver shenanigans a lawyer in Texas has taken social media by storm after he logged in to a virtual court case with a cat filter turned on.

Appearing before Judge Roy Ferguson, Rod Ponton was audibly distressed by a Zoom filter that had been left on by his child who had used the computer before him.

The fluffy feline filter remained turned on during the opening remarks as Ponton struggled to remove it, saying:

“Can you hear me? I’m here live. I’m not a cat.”

Eventually Mr Ponton asked the judge if the proceedings could continue.

The video ends before it is revealed whether the filter was removed, but Judge Ferguson offered an important warning to anyone else who appears before his bench.

IMPORTANT ZOOM TIP: 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 (sound on). #lawtwitter #OhNo @zoom_ushttps://t.co/I0zaj0wu6K

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
