Give your mouse pointer a cat.
Pointer Paws is a Chrome extension that turns your cursor into a soft cat paw with a photo-real cat beside it. Point at a link and your cat smiles.
Add to Chrome, it's free
Pick your cat
- 11 breeds: Tabby, Persian, Siamese, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Scottish Fold, Sphynx, Bengal, Black Cat, Calico and Tuxedo.
- 31 real coat colors, from orange tabby to seal-point Siamese and snow Bengal.
- Three sizes. Small works everywhere; Medium and Large are easier to spot.
- Sharp on high-resolution screens. Dark cats get a soft glow on dark sites.
- The normal typing cursor stays in text boxes.
Private by design
Pointer Paws collects nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no ads, no network requests. Your choice of cat and size is saved in your own Chrome sync storage. Read the privacy policy.
Good to know
- Tabs that were already open need a refresh after you install.
- Chrome's own pages (settings, the new-tab page, the Chrome Web Store) and the built-in PDF viewer keep the normal cursor. That's a Chrome rule.
- Some games, maps and drawing tools set their own cursor, so they keep it.
- Near the very top of the window, Chrome may show the normal arrow for Medium and Large. Small always works.
