In this challenge, you will deepen your skills with APIs and text processing in Python. You will use the Cat Facts API to fetch a list of 10 facts about cats. Your goal is to analyze these facts and determine how many of them contain the word "cat", regardless of case. This will help you practice both API requests and basic string searching in real-world data.
