MEOW

 The greatest court hearing on Zoom in the history of Zoom court hearings. Superlatives are often overused. Not this time. 




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.

Please everyone...whenever you need local counsel in Texas, Mr. Ponton is your guy. He has to be your guy. He is the greatest. We love him. This made us laugh.

And BTW- props to the Judge who was clearly doing his best not to lose it.

How do I appear at my next hearing as one of my cats?

Very humorous although I can think of a couple of judges that would get a bit bent out of shape and have a COW over this CAT situation

What a blown opportunity. A judge does not take advantage of the opportunity to justifiably call a lawyer before him a pussy.
