Meme lore
What is the Zoom Cat Lawyer meme?
Zoom Cat Lawyer (also “I'm Not a Cat”) is attorney Rod Ponton stuck in a white-kitten webcam filter during a Texas Zoom hearing. The joke is professional composure against an unmistakable tech disaster — insisting you are live, human, and ready to proceed.
Origin & history
Still cropped from Judge Roy Ferguson’s YouTube upload of the 2021-02-09 394th District Court Zoom hearing (video id KxlPGPupdd8), Ponton’s tile only: darting-eye kitten, “rod ponton” nameplate, Zoom watermark. Not the 4-up gallery with the court notice.
