Nyan Cat!!!1!

In Debian and Ubuntu, you can install it using: # apt-get install nyancat

The options I used mean:

     -n, --no-counter
              Do not display the timer.
     -s, --no-title
              Do not set the titlebar text.
     -f, --frames
              Display the requested number of frames, then quit.

44 frames equates to about 4 seconds, which is the same amount of time it takes my machine to run sl.

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/19310 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:
