I once made a clone of cat(1), making sure not to include the -v option because it's considered harmful.

Seriously, though, why are you asking? Was there some breakthrough in biology recently that made it feasible and available?

Or are we actually talking about cat(1)?

Commercial off the shelf animal cloning for pets and animal husbandry has been around for well over a decade at this point.

My clone of cat(1) is called redpanda(no manual) that includes kitty terminal graphics protocol support so I can do `cat nyan.png` and the png rendered to the terminal I'm using (ghostty) instead of cat spewing a bunch of garbage.

I just realized that you can run sudo apt install nyancat on Ubuntu. It even includes a man page.

		Just to note, that's output using standard ANSI escapes and not kitty or sixel terminal graphics support.
