Ponton told The Associated Press that he was using his 10-year-old desktop computer when he logged into a routine civil forfeiture hearing Tuesday in Presidio County, Texas, where he serves as prosecutor. Ponton says his appearance looked normal on the webcam as he waited to be let into the Zoom hearing in Judge Roy court. But when the hearing began, to his shock and dismay, he was a cat.

Ponton said still trying to untangle the mystery, but he believes the built- in software and the young child are the likeliest culprits.

Ponton was good-humored about his new notoriety, telling the AP: happy to give the world a laugh because I think we needed it after the last few cat filter faux pas brings instant internet fame ASSOCIATED PRESS This image from video shows a hearing from the 394th Judicial District Court of Texas.
