A cute service

The guys at {placekitten} have made this simple, but cute, service. It's intended for developers like you and me, who don't have many pictures laying around on their hard drive.

When in need of a quick example image, you can hotlink to them and get a cute kitty as a placeholder :3

Here is 200x200:

I found this especially useful in jsfiddle, since you have nowhere to upload your images.

Just make an <img> tag and set src to the following:

    http://placekitten.com/{ width }/{ height }

And replace { width } and { height } by the width and height of the desired image.

Apparently a trailing slash makes your image a square, so if you get a square you know what's happening.

Their kitty pictures are really tasteful and cute. They vary according to the size of the image you requested.
