Tabby Cat

A new friend in every new tab.

Tabby Cat is a delightful Chrome extension that adds a charming, animated tabby cat to every new browser tab. These virtual cats blink, sleep, and respond to your mouse pets, mimicking the behaviors of real cats.

Snapshots let you save your favorite cats forever. Tabby Cat is perfect for cat lovers who want a playful and interactive companion every time they open a new tab.

Tabby Cat is highly appreciated for its adorable design, customizable cats, and the pleasant experience it brings when opening new tabs. Users love features like purring on hover and find it engaging and fun. However, some frustrations arise due to occasional loss of collectible items, a broken snapshot feature on Firefox caused by CORS restrictions, and limited options for customizing animal types and eye colors.

  • Opening a new tab becomes a pleasant experience enhanced by features such as purring on hover.
  • Users find the add-on enjoyable and life-changing, indicating high satisfaction and engagement.
Cons
