Hi @dave1010, thanks for the inspiration, I just setup HTTP Status Cats on my website and decided to fork your htaccess file and make a few modifications. I included a few additions: changed to the HTTP Status Cats API, centered images using IFrames, added black backgrounds, added all available "status cats" codes, and created a python script to auto-generate all the ErrorDocument statements. https://gist.github.com/munchicken/c606774c0d0b519e4b5b7d2de16a8db2
