Robbie Venezia 2025-07-11: This was one of my favorite extensions, after 10 years it fully stopped working today and I was so hoping it would get the manifest v3 update :( Please?
Yasmina Diallo 2025-03-10: Begging you to update the extension the soonest possible so it can work under Chrome again (Google has disabled it because it is no longer supported/up-to-date), please do something, I don't want to go back to the former blank new tab pages, I got too used to seeing all these beautiful cats opening Google, please 😭
Kim Null 2024-08-05: Please update this so Chrome doesn't remove it... it's my favorite thing "These extensions may soon no longer be supported Remove or replace them with similar extensions from the Chrome Web Store"
Sponge Panda 2020-03-05: I loved the artwork but it was impeding on my searches because the link for the image was coming up in the search bar partway through me typing–had to remove from my browser because of this.

Umut Koca 2018-02-13: Hello, Firstly, thanks for the Meow Met extension. I have some problems. Whenever I open a new tab, I see the url like this "chrome-extension://annljkgbhnihbghkbfammlacnlfkdclp/0043.html" in the browser address bar. I want to see the address bar blank. Can you fix this ? Thanks.

Lucien Van Elsen 2016-03-01: A nice idea, and pleasant to look at. Only 75 backgrounds hardcoded into it, though, which soon become familiar.

Jack Stevenson 2015-08-30: Not fast enough. Should cache an image for instant display rather than waiting until a tab is opened to fetch one.

Cora Rice 2015-07-23: I love this plugin! You can never have enough cats or art, nice to see the Met really embracing technology. Only downside is the fact that my toolbar isn't displayed.
