To download the program, visit and press Download. But the good news is that you can get a similar effect from Snap Camera, which allows you to apply Snapchat filters to your computer’s webcam. The bad news is that unless you want to use a 10-plus-year-old Dell for all your video calls, you’ll have a hard time copying Ponton’s look precisely. I also confirmed that the cat filter is extremely challenging to switch off. Clicking over to the Avatars tab, I found a cat filter that appears to perfectly match the one Ponton used. I confirmed this by firing up an old Dell laptop from the late ’00s, and loading up the Dell Webcam Central program. While it’s not 100% clear exactly what app Ponton mistakenly engaged, there’s a theory that the filter is linked to an ancient Dell program, and an old post on the blog ChemBark depicts a seemingly identical cat filter running during a Skype call. Snap Camera has at least 20 similar filters, so you can take your pick of cat faces. But what if you, too, want to be a cat on your next Zoom meeting (or court appearance)? It’s great fun to watch Ponton’s transformation. Unsurprisingly, Ponton’s Zoom fail became a meme within hours, and a search for “lawyer Zoom cat” on Twitter already returns thousands of results.
And in our post-pandemic world - where absolutely everything seems uncertain - it’s even more delightful that Ponton felt he had to reassure Ferguson he had not, in fact, actually transformed into a cat. It’s delightful to see a grown man - testifying under oath in a serious legal proceeding - transformed into an animated LOLCAT. Those words may well go down as one of the iconic one-liners of the pandemic era. “I can see that,” responds judge /HclKlAUwbM- Lawrence Hurley February 9, 2021 “I’m here live, I’m not a cat,” says lawyer after Zoom filter mishap
