    I'm not a cat.

    This tickled me. Sorry if it's already been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it from a quick skim of recent thread titles.

        It’s fabulous and I want to use cat filters for my calls now. How did I not know about them?

        They should be obligatory for council meetings.

          Brilliant.

          Why wouldn't you want to be a cat? The freedom, the nonchalance, the lack of consequences for your actions AND you get fed and watered every day.

              The fact that Mr Ponton has the voice of a hapless cartoon character ups the amusement factor.

              Jerry L Phillips does a good job of keeping a straight face until the "I'm not a cat" line finally gets him.

                  You get your knackers chopped off by your loving mummy or daddy, for one.

                    With my love life right now, wouldn't make a great deal of difference to be brutally honest.

                      They’re much happier neutered, though (in the context of modern pet life).

                        What makes it is how the cat looks doleful and embarrassed, its expression mirroring the strangulated tone of the man behind it.

                          I'm still rocking with laughter now just reading these comments, after watching a few moments ago. Yes, it's such a doleful, harassed-looking kitten face, and as noted the voice just goes perfectly with that. Outstanding.

                            Doleful is a great word that is much underused, so thankyou delicatemoth for introducing it here

                              Oops, I didn't even register that I'd repeated DM's own word there! Sorry for the accidental plagiarism.

                                I would not have predicted a year ago that lawyers embarrassing themselves on Zoom would be the social media phenomenon it has become.

                                  That is hilarious. Additionally, I'm now reading the thread title in a Nixon voice and therefore want all old footage of him to have his visage "zoom-catted".

                                    Between this and the Handforth Parish Council of Cheshire county, it's obvious who's behind the We're All Mad Here zooms lately....

                                      Turns out that cat lawyer, far from his cute kitten like picture, is in fact a cunt https://news.avclub.com/please-we-ju...AJ_H7vjMkCNP8I

                                        Interesting start to the day, almost do myself a mischief watching the video and then seeing that it's partly karma for being, as ad hoc says, a cunt.

                                          "I'm not a cat" is a classic line. But it gets even better when the judge (or whoever) replies: "I can see that."

                                          No you can't see that. To all appearances, he is a cat.
