Catpicture as a service

cat!

How to get more random cat pictures?

Is it curl compatible?

Yes!

curl https://randomcat.de -o cat.jpg

Can i get kittys from my terminal?

Yes!

sudo apt install catimg 
curl  https://randomcat.de -s -f -o  - | catimg -
sudo apt install timg 
curl https://randomcat.de -s -f -o  - | timg -

timg is aso capable of high resolution cats. This does not work on all terminals so we utilize kitty as our terminal.:

curl https://randomcat.de -s -f -o  - | timg -p kitty -

Note: does not work in WSL2 for me.

Just add one of the aboves commands as an alias = to your .bashrc and live happy forever.
