It looks way too detailed for my taste already. Trying to put "Everything
a Cat newbie needs to know" on a single page is doomed to failure.

I think something friendlier would be better. Ideally including a few
"What do I do next?" questions with links to answers, perhaps. The
answers could be short tutorials on the main cat webpage, so they can
be updated without having to touch the code.
