Hi @shellyfel !
<img src="https://www.bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat"=alt ="relaxing cat.">
Here right after the the link you have a = .It’s not supposed to be here.

@shellyfel

=alt ="relaxing cat."

you dont need = in front
and you dont need . in relaxing cat

[asifnawasdeen]

alt or also known as ALTERNATE tag will contain text element which is usually shown when the image has failed to load in the site or any issues in displaying the image.

<img src="path" alt="This text will show when my image fails to load">

Looking at your code you have an extra = just after the path

<img src=“https://www.bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat”**=**alt =“relaxing cat.”>

The correct code is as follow,

<img src="https://www.bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt ="relaxing cat">
