--width

You can use the --width flag to change the width of the speech bubble. Defaults to 45, maxes out at a little less than the width of your terminal if you try to pass a very large number.

$ kittysay "meow mrrrow mrrrp nyaaa nya nyaaa meow meowwww nyaaa meowwww"

--think

You can use the --think flag to enable "think" mode, where the speech bubbles are replaced with thought bubbles (similar to the cowthink program).

$ kittysay --think ":3"
