The beauty was the honesty of it all ... but the best was the cat's expressions...

It’s how he says in all seriousness “I’m not a cat”.

[@shellylister7006]

When he says he’s prepared to go forward with it and he says he’s not a cat - that makes me howl every time! Was he implying that since he couldn’t get the filter off he would just proceed with the cat filter? That would have been so funny and the other attorney was trying not to look because when he did, he was trying to contain his smile. This is the best!

I wonder about that. We don't know what these two lawyers and a judge were about to meet regarding. It may have been an acrimonious divorce or something, that judge may have been initially skeptical, because he's seen other counsel try to pull off weird stunts. The other lawyer didn't even seem to notice until halfway into the call.
