## Description
<section id='description'>
CSS borders have properties like <code>style</code>, <code>color</code> and <code>width</code>.
For example, if we wanted to create a red, 5 pixel border around an HTML element, we could use this class:

```html
<style>
  .thin-red-border {
    border-color: red;
    border-width: 5px;
    border-style: solid;
  }
</style>
```

</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Create a class called <code>thick-green-border</code>. This class should add a 10px, solid, green border around an HTML element. Apply the class to your cat photo.
Remember that you can apply multiple classes to an element using its <code>class</code> attribute, by separating each class name with a space. For example:
<code>&lt;img class="class1 class2"&gt;</code>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your <code>img</code> element should have the class <code>smaller-image</code>.
    testString: assert($("img").hasClass("smaller-image"));
  - text: Your <code>img</code> element should have the class <code>thick-green-border</code>.
    testString: assert($("img").hasClass("thick-green-border"));
  - text: Your image should have a border width of <code>10px</code>.
    testString: assert($("img").hasClass("thick-green-border") && parseInt($("img").css("border-top-width"), 10) >= 8 && parseInt($("img").css("border-top-width"), 10) <= 12);
  - text: Your image should have a border style of <code>solid</code>.
    testString: assert($("img").css("border-right-style") === "solid");
  - text: The border around your <code>img</code> element should be green.
    testString: assert($("img").css("border-left-color") === "rgb(0, 128, 0)");
