Ok... I know that the content (i.e. - wording) will be changing, and a few pics are missing (I know they're here somewhere...) but as far as layout/design, aesthetics and functionality, how does this look?
It's my first site... coded with HTML. The rollovers were done in Image-ready. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Nice colours and overall design. Clean look. Cats look lovely.
Because the photos are large, there's quite a lot of whitespace above+below the text.
The rollovers are a bit slow and clunky. Also there's uneven spacing between the rollover buttons.

Good start...
i think the links might be a bit too big as well as the words in the banner...
also your padding space on the left edge is different for most of your pages.. try to keep that consistent and it will be looking good!

your doing great. It's not easy to build a site. Keep trying.
What do I look like a smoken monkey?

do you guys have any idea why my bullets are off on the 'links' page? They look all stupid, but I think that they are coded right?

Close the link item </a> before closing the list item </li> , that should make it right.

I like it,
Things I'd change:
I'd line up the photos of the cats etc with the header
picture, at the moment the pictures of the cats have
less of a border.
I would also add a shadow or bevel, or just another
colour to the edge of the big white overall table.
