Cat Zoom Lawyer became Internet star

Rod Ponton, a Texas lawyer whose mishap with a cat filter on Zoom has made him an internet sensation during a virtual court session viewed by millions of times online.

“I did not know that Zoom could turn me into a cat. I did not know that cat Zoon could turn me into an internet celebrity, but it all happened in just a matter of hours” he said.

“When I got on Zoon everything seemed fine- my picture popped up, I was in the waiting room with the judge. But when the judge called the case, I disappeared and a cat appeared instead of me to my great surprise of course”.

Judge Roy Ferguson shared the video on social media, advising people to ensure that filters are switched off before joining virtual hearings.
