Texas lawyer, trapped by cat filter on Zoom call, informs judge he is not a cat

• Lawyer Rod Ponton unable to undo filter during court debate
• I don't know how to remove it ... I'm here live. I'm not a cat'

The coronavirus has been responsible for a series of video-call stumbles and mishaps, and the phenomenon seemingly reached its zenith this week, when a Texas lawyer appeared before a judge as a cat, after being unable to change a video filter.

I'm not a cat," Rod Ponton was forced to clarify during a hearing in Presidio county, south-west Texas, as he and his assistant scrambled to remove the filter.
