Meet Your New Coding Companion: Cat CPU Monitor for VS Code ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’ป

Tired of boring system monitors? Say hello to Cat CPU Monitor - a delightful VS Code extension that combines utility with cuteness! See here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MengAiDev.cat-cpu-monitor

What Does It Do?

  • ๐Ÿพ Adorable cat animation in your status bar that speeds up as CPU usage increases
  • ๐Ÿ” Click the cat to see top 8 CPU-intensive processes
  • ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • ๐ŸŽจ Visual CPU usage indicators with color gradients

Why You'll Love It

// Instead of this:
const cpuStress = 100;

// You get this:
const codingWithCats = ๐Ÿ˜ป;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This extension transforms mundane system monitoring into a fun visual experience. When your CPU purrs along at 20%, your cat calmly blinks (=^..^=). But when your tests spike CPU to 90%? That cat starts sprinting like it's chasing a laser pointer (=^O.O^=) It means your cpu runs a lot fast!!

Installation

  1. Open VS Code extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
  2. Search for "Cat CPU Monitor"
  3. Install and enjoy your new feline coding companion!

Perfect For When You...

  • ๐Ÿš€ Need to spot resource-hungry processes quickly
  • ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Want to add some personality to your editor
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Prefer visual system monitoring over numbers
  • ๐Ÿ˜ธ Just really like cats (no judgment here)
