mrrpy.cat/your-browser

your browser has a cat now.

a chrome extension that moves a small, opinionated cat into your tabs. it walks across what you’re reading. it sits where it shouldn’t.

behaviors

eight states.
zero opinions you can override.

the cat speaks in eight poses — for now. more are in training. there is no settings panel for charisma, because there is no charisma — just the cat.

claimed the new tab button on day one. minus one star — the human adapted too quickly. no fun.

thermal acquisition
located the warmest pixel on the screen. it is mine now. the human may keep the cold ones.
q & a

questions you’re going to ask.
answers from the cat.

?is it a real cat?

no. blocks your screen like one. naps like one. ignores you like one. close enough.

?does it do anything useful?

it keeps you company while you procrastinate. arguably a service.

?can i pet it?

click it. you get about three pets before it walks off. them’s the rules.

?how do i make it stop?

there is a pause button. the cat knows about it. the cat is not worried.

?is my data safe?

the cat cannot read. it wants the warm spot near your cursor. which is now its spot.

▸ desktop_only

the cat doesn’t do phones.

mrrpy is a desktop-browser extension. it needs a real window to walk across, tabs to sit on, and a cursor to ignore. your phone has none of that.

come back on a computer. it’ll pretend it waited.
