Cowser

A fun, cross-platform command-line tool that greets you with ASCII art animals. Inspired by cowsay, written in Python. Works as a CLI and as a library.

• 35+ animals across categories: cows, cats, dogs, birds, sea life, robots, mythical creatures and more
• Greetings, custom messages, stdin piping, fortunes, and a REPL
• cowsay-style modes, thought bubbles, eyes/tongue tokens
• Rainbow, bold, and colored output; legacy-console fallback
• Config file and art packs for your own animals
• Single-file binaries for Linux/macOS/Windows

pip install cowser
cowser Alice
cowser --cow owl --think "Where am I?"
cowser --fortune
