MeowPing

MeowPing is a command-line utility for testing network connectivity using ICMP echo requests or TCP connections. It provides similar functionality to traditional ping utilities but with a touch of whimsy and color. MeowPing supports both domain names and IP addresses, allowing users to check the availability and responsiveness of network hosts. Don't forget to leave a ⭐ :D
