Chrome Cat Extension

Hi! I'm Chrome Cat. I like to hang out and keep you company. [^._.^]ノ彡
You can see a demo at www.chromecat.app

Click \"Add to Chrome\" and I'll hang with you on your favorite sites. We can watch videos, look at photos, and even do some work (I'll just sleep).

I ask for permission to modify your data on all sites only so I can hang out with you on all sites!
I can't read or store your personal data – I only store if you want me on or off.

¯\\_₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎_/¯

More about me:

– I like to hang out almost everywhere, but some places just don't allow cats.
– I get sleepy after 5 minutes in case your computer wants to go to sleep.
– I'm a leo.

(ฅ^・ﻌ・^)ฅ

If I cause any problems:
Try turning me off or refresh the window.
(I can't be responsible for anything – I'm just a cat)

Let's hang out!

(⌯’▾’⌯) ∫

Thanks to the real life owner of this cat for sharing:
