In the midst of a 394th District Court hearing in Texas, USA, in a video call using a zoom app, one of the lawyers got stuck in his face with a cute cat filter and became one of the funniest things on the net. When his voice emanates from a figure of a cat, who could not get rid of her. Watch an excerpt from the bizarre court hearing:

In the documentation raised by the judge at the hearing, Roy Ferguson, who directed what was happening, a confused lawyer was heard saying: “Mr. Fonton I believe your filter is on, maybe you would like to try to change that?”. A second before the judge had time to finish the trial, Attorney Fonton’s voice erupted from the cute cat, who had a helpless look, and said, “Can you hear me, Judge?”, But he did not understand that the voice was not the problem in the conversation at all.
After the frustrated lawyer excused the story by having my little sister mess with his zoom app so the filter interrupted the discussion, he finally said: “I have someone here helping me and she will try to remove it, I’m willing to continue like this. I’m here live – I’m not a cat. “A few seconds later the video ended without it being clear whether an attorney was able to remove the filter from his face. The post the judge posted after the incident:
IMPORTANT ZOOM TIP: If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the Zoom Video Options to be sure filters are off. This kitten just made a formal announcement on a case in the 394th (sound on). #lawtwitter #OhNo @zoom_ushttps://t.co/I0zaj0wu6K

Later, the court itself uploaded the hilarious documentation to its YouTube page and the video was shared by Judge Ferguson to his Twitter page. The judge’s post read: “If a child has used your computer before joining a virtual hearing, check the zoom options and make sure the filter is off. This cat represented an official case in court 394.” Continuing on in the comments on the post, the judge added: “This funny moment is a by-product of dedication to the legal profession and a promise that the court will continue to function even in such difficult times.
