And I am confused with the text message saying " The p element should show the same text in the browser, but the words cat photos should now be a link. Make sure to remove the a element with the text cat photos on the line below the p element."
We need to be able to see your actual HTML so we can see what you have tried. To display your code in here you need to wrap it in triple back ticks. On a line by itself type three back ticks. Then on the first line below the three back ticks paste in your code. Then below your code on a new line type three more back ticks. The back tick on my keyboard is in the upper left just above the Tab key and below the Esc key.
I’m sure I’m definitely doing something wrong but it says
" Hint: Your code should only contain one anchor (a) element. Remove any extra anchor elements."
