A livestream of a virtual court proceeding in Texas took an “appawling” turn when a lawyer appeared as a cat on screen.
A West Texas judge has a word of caution to those attending court hearings via Zoom: Always check for filters before logging on.
Judge Roy Ferguson’s warning comes after an attorney accidentally joined a Tuesday video conference of a civil forfeiture court hearing while using a Zoom filter that made him appear like a fluffy white kitten.
The small, white kitten looked sad with its concerned eyes darting back and forth. The kitten opened its mouth to speak.
“Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings,” the judge said.

“Can you hear me judge?” Ponton said, appearing in the cat filter.
“I’m here, live, I’m not a cat,” he said a few seconds later.
“I can see that,” replied Ferguson, whose district covers five counties in West Texas, including the town of Marfa from which Ponton was calling.
The short video clip, which was shared online by Ferguson, ends with others coaching the attorney on how to remove the cat filter.
