Title: Rewrote this in bash.

It's a bit faster.

$ time for ((i=0; i<10000; i++)); do
./octocatsay "This is a line"; done >/dev/null

real 0m34.171s
user 0m21.377s
sys 0m11.545s

$ git co master
Switched to branch 'master'

$ time for ((i=0; i<10000; i++)); do
./octocatsay "This is a line"; done >/dev/null

real 0m51.544s
user 0m23.028s
sys 0m20.663s

It also now handles multiple arguments, so you can do:
./octocatsay A few words

Instead of having to do:
./octocatsay "A few words"
