There are times when you only need to display the contents of the CAT file. Then the tools called CAT Viewer come in handy. Such a program allows us only to display the contents of the CAT file. To view the content of the CAT file, select one of the available options:
Our CAT Viewer did not live up to what I expected? Choose something else The first is to download the software that supports CAT files Here are some sample programs that can help you.

First of all, you need to know that you need to install specific software that supports CAT files on your computer. In this case, it is not possible to view the CAT file online. This method is more complicated, but it offers more possibilities for working with the CAT file.

If you still cannot see the contents of the CAT file, but also don't see the need to install dedicated software, then there are other solutions. A lot of file formats contain plain text data or packed data. In this case, it is likely that you will be able to view the contents of CAT with a normal "Notepad".

To get information about what kind of data it is, go to the subpage with information about the CAT file extension.
