There’s a Chrome extension going viral called Cat Gatekeeper, and it’s exactly what it sounds like — a chunky orange cat that waddles onto your screen and blocks everything when you’ve been scrolling too long.

Whether you’re deep in Insta, TikTok, or YouTube, the cat just strolls in like, “Alright, that’s enough.” People are loving it because it’s cute, petty, and way more effective than self‑control.

If you’ve ever needed a sign to log off… this cat literally is the sign.
