Meow

A minimalistic lolcat clone for Windows that actually works.

What?

No lolcat clone would be complete without this picture, right? So here it is.

Screenshot

Usage

Because Meow is meant to be a minimalistic clone, and due to the limitations of the Windows Console (conhost.exe), Meow has very little functionality compared to lolcat itself.

OPTIONS

Alias Option Description
-text The text to display. (as of v0.2019.03.22, meow no longer supports reading from files.)
-s -spread The color spread for the color rainbow.
-q -frequency The frequency of the color spread.
-i -invert Invert the foreground and background colors.
-h -help Display the help message.
-d -demo Show a demonstration of meow.

Installation

If you have Git installed, clone the repository into whatever directory you want and add the bin\meow.ps1 file to your PATH. And if you don't, install it and come back later.

You can also painlessly install Meow with Scoop. First, ensure that you have the extras bucket added:

$ scoop bucket list
nirsoft
java
blah blah
...

extras

If you don't, add it.

$ scoop bucket add extras

Then install Meow:

$ scoop install meow

Updating to the latest version is also easy:

$ scoop update meow
