Tabby Cat Extension

Tabby Cat is the extension that brightens your day with a new animal in every new tab.

Tabby Cats blink, sleep, and even let you pet them – just like real cats! If you're really lucky, your Tabby Cats might leave goodies for you... but what will they bring? Take snapshots of your favorite ones to save them forever and ever.

Some toys attract combo kitties, which are cute little baby cats that only come out for special combinations of goodies. Find them all!

Don't like cats? No problem! Now you can have other pets like Doggos, Penguins, Bunnies, Pigs, and more! For free!

Meow. <3

P.S. Tabby Cat will never collect or sell your data.
