## Buyer Intent Signals

Solutions: Can we force a new kitten with the same dimensions? | Flickr API / Pixabay API: Utilizing APIs from image sharing platforms like Flickr or Pixabay to search for and retrieve random kitten images, offering more control over the selection but requiring mor | Custom JavaScript randomization: Implementing client-side JavaScript to randomly select images from a predefined array of hosted kitten images, providing a custom solution.
