Web Development Project 4 - Here Kitty Kitty - A Cat Discovery App

Submitted by: Lynjai Jimenez

This web app: This is an interactive web application that allows users to explore and learn about various cat breeds. Users can click a button to discover random cats, view their images, and read details about their breed, including origin, weight, life span, temperament, and a link to more information. The app features a "Recently Seen Cats" section that keeps track of previously viewed cats, and a customizable "Ban List" where users can exclude specific attributes from future searches. This ban list can be easily managed, with the ability to add or remove banned items.
