@dvermilion@narfcake@riskybryzness We must have traumatized our cats with too many attempts to get them on-camera, because whenever either of us points the phone at one during Facetime (usually when one of the humans is away and wants to connect), they visibly look away. Or maybe they just don’t like the light or something.
@dvermilion@joelmw
maybe the light the camera sends out to auto focus is in the cat’s visible range? I had trouble taking a face on cat photo Monday (couldn’t manage it - lag between pushing the shutter on the phone camera and it clicking was too long). She’d turn her face away each time so I got a lot of blurry photos of her moving her head.
@njfan@rockblossom We use Teams too. If you’ve got a camera with a cover, you can set the cat as your background and of course it can be your avatar. Alas, both are static. What’s nice about the background is that it shows up at times that an avatar won’t, so I often use mine to express my current mood or message. It’d be nice if they at least allowed gifs in either context.
Jerry L. Phillips’ timing is so under appreciated. Dude was playing candy crush or checking out the new singles classified section of the meh forum when he realized the most entertaining thing going on was the Zoom meeting itself. Bravo, Jerry. Bravo.
“I’m not a cat.”
@riskybryzness
Hmm. Was the person speaking under oath at that moment?
@f00l @riskybryzness it was a lawyer
@CaptAmehrican @riskybryzness
Is “kitty lawyer” similar to “kitty litter”?
: )
@riskybryzness
@narfcake that’s one of my favorite pics.
@narfcake @riskybryzness this reminds me of an imgur post i made after getting lucky taking photos of my cat.

@dvermilion That’s fabulous! Your cat looks a bit shocked.
@narfcake @riskybryzness does this mean you are a cat!
@lonocat @riskybryzness
@dvermilion that is brilliant
@joelmw @narfcake @riskybryzness My cat does the exact same thing–I just confused him by showing him what I normally see. (/¯–‿･)/¯
@lonocat @narfcake @riskybryzness
meow? (^.ᆺ.^)ﾉ
@CaptAmehrican @f00l @riskybryzness One smells good, the other does law for a living. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think all Zoom meetings should be done with cat filters.
@rockblossom
esp re official court biz.
@rockblossom if anyone knows how to make this happen with Microsoft Teams, you’d make my Wednesday and also, I will be available for hire on Thursday.
@njfan A quick search resulted in these, both of which reference the need to run Snap’s camera app:

/8ball Should snapchat be renamed to snapcat?
Ask again later

Obviously the warning in the top left panel is a very significant deterrent…
@chienfou So, we’re all guilty of contempt?

@njfan And Judge Bauer deadpanning and trying to maintain decorum. You know he wanted to laugh.
The cat sounds and looks so scared. It’s almost more than I can take…
OK, so I AM a cat.
Don’t judge.
@mehcuda67 Don’t judge. Ha.
This is my favorite cattorney: https://instagram.com/lewisbspoonesq?igshid=px9erx0erl2s
I usually follow him and his family on Facebook.
Cat lawyer guy is a real asshole apparently:
