Cat Walk

audited$0.05

A two-line cat strolls across your status line in an endless loop: tail flicks, blinks, the occasional meow, paw prints fading behind, and edge-clipped wraparound. Pure bash: no network, no files, no dependencies. Set refreshInterval: 1 to animate.

Displays a two-line ASCII-art animated cat that walks across the status line from right to left. The script reads session JSON from stdin (ignores it), calls `date +%s` to get the current Unix timestamp for animation timing, and uses bash arithmetic and string manipulation to render the cat at different positions with occasional tail flicks, blinks, and meows. It reads the COLUMNS environment variable for terminal width. No file I/O, no network calls, no external scripts executed beyond the standard `date` command.

    Absolutely delightful. This little two-line cat has completely won me over — the tail flicks, the slow blinks, the occasional shy ᵐᵉᵒʷ, and the paw prints fading out behind it add up to something genuinely charming, and the edge-clipped wraparound as it strolls off one side and back is a lovely touch. Best of all it's pure bash: no network, no files, no dependencies (the audit backs that up — clean approve, zero red flags), so it's a treat you can run with total peace of mind. Set refreshInterval: 1 and it just comes alive. It's earned its #1 spot. 5/5, would let it walk across my status line all day.
