You can try reading the "cat" manual but I don't think it will help:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/cat-invocation.html#cat-invocation

@davidrevoy dumb tangent: I always have to doskey ls for dir, cat for type, and which for where at work or life just seems too difficult

@davidrevoy lol

@davidrevoy Try Alt+F4 to close that window....

@davidrevoy Wait. It seems installed correctly. Maybe just a PATH issue? ;)

@davidrevoy I think it can "work" on that!

@davidrevoy did you try to summon root?

@davidrevoy
It looks more like that cat has installed itself onto Windows. And that you'll need to pay a ransom to remove it.

... needs the mouse?

@davidrevoy as far as I can see, the cat is located on window, is fully functional, and is ready for action :ablobcathappypaws:

@davidrevoy Didn't get the humor 🤔

@davidrevoy

I feel your pain.
I have the same problem painting a cat on canvas.
It’s a messy story.

@davidrevoy

Need to have a mouse!

@davidrevoy ☺️😁

@davidrevoy
But in each unix/linux 'cat' is installed by default! Use *nix platforms - they are feline friendly!

@davidrevoy Looks like Windows itself isn’t installed properly.

@davidrevoy That looks like the default install to me: I fits, I sits.

@davidrevoy
Clear. Cat is a Linux command

@davidrevoy Have you clicking on it with the mouse?

@davidrevoy I think the cat is trying to use the backdoor but Windows is too heavy for its paws.

@davidrevoy 😻 😹 😹 😽 😽 😽

@davidrevoy thank goodness for WSL

@davidrevoy Windows have a subsystem for your cat

@davidrevoy using cat on a single taget is abuse anyway!

@davidrevoy lol. On a more serious note though, you might be more successful with gat:

https://github.com/koki-develop/gat

@davidrevoy Well, it works, cat.exe does not seem to generate errors.

@davidrevoy Try installing Tomcat on Ubuntu

@davidrevoy jajajaj, lol.

@davidrevoy I’d say it seems you did a great job & that the installation was successful. I just wonder what features this Cat app has…

@davidrevoy seems quite properly installed, maybe try installing tree next?

@davidrevoy Under-boosted toot.

@davidrevoy
it ist difficult to work with windows.
In this case you have to remove the glass an put some cat litter inbetween the frame. Then the cat knows how to work with windows.

@davidrevoy have you tried deactivating and then reactivating your cat?

@davidrevoy Looks like it went as it should?

@davidrevoy failed? I'm pretty sure cat is on Window ;)

@davidrevoy once you have cat working, try piping the output of cat through sed.

@davidrevoy looks like it failed successfully to me. 😂

@davidrevoy As window admin, you must first do in the window, ctrl+alt+del 😄

@davidrevoy that's because cat is a Linux command. ;-)

@davidrevoy It's a user error.

@davidrevoy You have a version issue. Try cat 5 or 6.

@davidrevoy
Could be worse. Installing Windows in cat will get you shredded.

@davidrevoy I see a window with an installed cat, looks like success to me. Or did you expect cat to do something besides napping?

@davidrevoy Looks perfectly successful - what did you expect?

@davidrevoy maybe, you should try it again with some chocolate :D

@davidrevoy How about VLC? https://hackers.town/@rgegriff/110242760561916727

@davidrevoy Windex?
