Fixed broken placeholder links on manipulating dom with refs page

[daniel-norris]

Hi, was looking at the page below and noticed a couple things...

• the image placeholders we're retrieving from placecats.com is no longer working and I can't find the API documentation anymore
• the images used for some of the other ref examples and solutions were all using the same image

Solution:

• I've pointed all the examples to a new placeholder
• They now generated an assortment of images and not just one
• They're all dogs because dogs > cats

I think we should just host them ourselves and do a pass to remove any external image links from the docs. Would you mind taking a look at that?

I'd also prefer to keep cats personally. But if you do the above, I can take dogs.

One argument to keep cats is to avoid churning the translations.

we should just host them

Sure ok, I can have a look at some options. Anything in particular you had in mind here? What about simply putting them in https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/tree/main/public/images/docs/illustrations or similar?

That's fair enough.
