Attorney’s cat filter faux pas brings instant internet fame

Texas attorney Rod Ponton’s appearance as a fluffy kitten during an online court hearing provided a moment of levity to a pandemic- and Zoom-fatigued world.

But that specific, adorable filter may be tough to find for anyone looking to replicate the viral moment.

Ponton told The Associated Press that he was using his assistant’s 10-year-old desktop computer when he logged into a routine civil forfeiture hearing Tuesday in Presidio County, Texas, where he serves as prosecutor.
