Not Enough Cat Photos? Re-Introducing OkCats

I’ve converted this tool to a PagerDuty Add-on. You can set it up in your account by going to Configuration → Extensions → Add-ons and clicking :heavy_plus_sign: New Add-on. Set the name to OkCats (or whatever you prefer) and the URL to:

https://pagerduty.github.io/addons/OkCats/index.html

Which will produce this:
