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.'

The lawyer is panicking and letting the judge know he's not a cat because he knows the judge is really a dog with a person filter turned on.
I'm not a dog
i'm not a cat Judge: present the proof and witness... how can i believe you???
He's so cute LOL
I like how jerry over there was struggling not to laugh in the end
The smile of the other judge with white beard was the best reaction to "I am not a cat!" He is like: "Yea for sure!" 😂
That’s what a cat would say
Hahaha I'm that's priceless 🤣
now i won't believe some lizard alien or annunaki trying to dominate the world.... here is the excellent proof!!!!! a cat lawyer trying to replace its human filter and deny itself as a cat
"Im not a Cat" Jerry Smile!
i'm not a cat????????!!!!
Exactly what a cat would say.
Plot twist: He didn't have a filter on
cute!!
My lungs collapsed right after he said "I'm prepared to go forward with it" 😂🤣👌
Plot twist: the cat murdered him and tried to impersonate him
Just let it happen. Stuck up Conservative rich man likes to have no humor or fun
Maybe these professionals should use some professional video chat client and not Zoom made for freaking kids!?
Not to mention its top 2 free for business
Zoom is a professional video client tf you talking about? Who says its for kids? If you go to the app store for zoom the first photo is literally all grown adults
🤣🤣🤣
That guy was trying so hard not to laugh
His voice sounds scared. He's looked in the mirror and seen a cat there as well 🙀
This video has me so much joy. 😂
If there was a show for that kitten with his voice I would watch it
"I'm not a cat" "Yes, I can see that..."
We shouldn't keep going on about this. We might hurt his felines.
Jerry L. Philips we see your enjoyment. One of us!
should have went forward with the case as a cat, that would have been way more hilarious
Give this man a new career as a cat voice over in a Disney movie!
like i believe in you when you said that? really?
Cat’s Eyes:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh.. he forgot to set a human filter.
POV:- You came from the Ace Attorney version of this video and now you are happy finding this
Lol! When one old guy teaches another old guy how to use Zoom 🤣
He doesn’t sound young either
The judge isn't old.
If the cat don't fit.....YOU MUST ACQUIT! :p
The funny part is that it says that recording this hearing may constitute contempt of court and result in a fine of $500 and a jail term up to 180 days 😂 looks like someone is going to jail 😂
1st day on the job and this happens.
HOW are these men not rolling on the floor laughing?
There was an interview and apparently the judge didn’t have his cam on because he was losing it laughing
Was his client a cat-burglar?
"I'm not a cat" Ok catboy
Far more entertaining than the entire "Cats" movie
hermoine after drinking polyjuice potion
The way he looks at the bottom left, that's undeniable sheer unadulterated panic
Why is nobody laughing in this call? I would be lying on the floor. :D
I’m here, but I’m not a cat!😹 I’m not here, and I wish I was a cat!
Give this man a new career as a cat voice over in a Disney movie!
LOL this is so hilarious to watch, I’ve watched it 8 times.
This lawyer cat just won the internet! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is nobody gonna talk about how the judge knows how to use zoom filters?
Plot twist: rod ponton is actually an animagus and just didn't manage to get into his human shape in time😂

I wanted to be a lawyer 2 months ago and now I really wanna be a lawyer 😫😫
0:31 I'm not a cat Man looked up laughed and thought: lier
That’s my actual cousin pretending to be a human lawyer again. 🤦🏽
That moan at 0:12 though. All in all, very well handled.
0:19 its so cute how he nods in accordance with the judge
I’m here, but I’m not a cat!😹 I’m not here, and I wish I was a cat!
The way he looks at the bottom left, that's undeniable sheer unadulterated panic
A Purrrrfect Cat astrophe 😹😸
Nothing wrong with been a cat
The human filter wasn't working so he had to make an excuse

Poor guy , he became a meme ...
pyro gaming
It's obviously a cat. 🙄
🤣
Cat: dang it..! Forgot to turn on my human filter
😆
Client: "I hired this guy as my lawyer, he's pretty expensive but I heard he's a very serious guy." Lawyer:
That's exactly what a cat would say🤔
"Recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited. Violation may constitute contempt of court and result in a fine of up to $500 and a jail term of up to 180 days." -ISpast video of hearing
This is a National treasure
The sound at 0:12 is the best part
Jerry L Phillips is like "wait, what?" and that reaction seals the deal.
nine lives (2016)
"Fur real, Your Honor! I'm not Kit-ten around!" What a cat-astrophe.
Roaring kitty (Keith Gill) when he has to make his opening statement:
It wouldn’t be so bad if he said, I’m not a cat
Hes actually a cat and have been using the human filter from the start, this time he forgot to turn it on.
I love how Phillips enjoys it and Bauer looks like full of amazement and envy together. :D
Was this recorded legally?
the voice and the filter perfectly match! 🤣🤣
So who recorded this, and are they subject to a $500 fine and 6 months in jail?
That was definitely a cat whos lawyer filter was malfunctioning
0:31 "Im not a cat" sus
_Recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited_ The Guardian:
Imagine working your whole life as a lawyer, could be the most honorable and professional person in the world, but noone knew him. Now the entire world knows him - as that Lawyers Who Is NOT A Cat. This world is not fair. lol
The sound at 0:12 is the best part
You can hear the desperation in his voice
Baaa, just like Hank Hill.
“I’m prepared to go forward with it” Sheer determination of the cat (who has realised it’s just lost one of its 9 lives)
"Recording or live streaming this hearing is punishable by 180 days in jail" 🤔
Top Troll supreme overload
"I'm not a cat" 8 million people: _interesting_
Lawyer experiences existential crisis using zoom. That should’ve been the newspaper headline
He is such a treasure...as a cat or not...
Gamestop Investor Keith Gill's opening statement brought me her. LOL! "I am not a cat"
"I'm not a cat" Judge: "I can see that"...as he sees a cat...
*This is where the masterpiece meme begin*
BRB, adopting a cat just so that I can name it Rod Ponton...
Mr. Ponten: I'm here and I am not a cat. Me: Objection! Judge: On what grounds? Me: Unsubstantiated, this court has not proved verifiably Mr. Ponten is not a cat!
0:36 the guy in the upper right corner was holding his laugh 😅
