 \fB\-H\fR HEIGHT
 Specify the height of the displayed image, passing '0' will use terminal height.

+\fB\-o\fR HEIGHT_OFFSET
+Specify the height offset of the displayed image, passing '0' will use no terminal height offset.
+.TP
 \fB\-l\fR LOOPS
 Specify the amount of loops that catimg should repeat a GIF. A value of 1 means that the GIF will be displayed twice. A negative value implies infinity.
