Download a Random Cat GIF

Download a Random Cat GIF is a minimal, single-purpose Bash script created to fetch a random cat GIF whenever you need a quick dose of feline chaos. When executed from the command line, the script reaches out to an online cat image provider, typically a public API or a simple endpoint that returns a random animated GIF. It then downloads the GIF file to your current working directory, giving you an easily shareable, locally stored image. There is no configuration, no complex flags, and no additional processing or viewing logic built in; the script focuses entirely on retrieving one fresh random cat GIF per run. This makes random-cat.sh useful both as a lighthearted toy and as a compact example of how to perform HTTP requests, handle downloads, and work with external web services from within a Bash environment.
