Tabby Cat review
A free extension for adding cat visuals and discovery to new tabs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tabby Cat turns a browser’s default new-tab page into a cat-themed experience. It is aimed at people who want a light, playful alternative to a standard start page, rather than a tool for managing work or changing how they browse in depth. The extension displays cat visuals and lets users encounter and collect cats while browsing. Its appeal is straightforward: each new tab becomes an opportunity for a small bit of discovery. The product is presented by Tabby Cats Club and has a free plan.
The main strength is also its scope. Tabby Cat focuses on a personalized, cat-themed tab experience, not a broader set of browser utilities. That narrow focus may suit solo users and small teams looking for a casual visual change without a paid plan. The published Free plan highlights the cat-themed new-tab experience, and the product is distributed as a browser extension. Buyers looking for productivity features, content blocking, or a wider browsing toolkit should consider a different kind of extension instead.
Platform fit deserves a check before choosing it. The listed platforms are web, macOS, and iOS, but Safari-specific distribution is not confirmed. For someone choosing specifically because they want this experience in Safari, that uncertainty makes it worth checking the extension’s availability before relying on it. Support is through documentation, and public product information is limited. Tabby Cat makes sense for users who prioritize a free, playful new-tab page and are comfortable with a focused feature set; it is less suitable for buyers who need confirmed Safari support or extensive product capabilities.
