Can you create ASCII art of a Cat?
Here is an example of ASCII art of a Cat:
                                 _
                                | \
                                | |
                                | |
           |\                   | |
          /, ~\                / /
         X     `-.....-------./ /
          ~-. ~  ~              |
             \             /    |
              \  /_     ___\   /
              | /\ ~~~~~   \ |
              | | \        || |
              | |\ \       || )
             (_/ (_/      ((_/

Keep in mind that ASCII art like this is best viewed with a monospaced font.
