I think using hyperlinks in some of the horoscopes would be useful.

Thanks for explanation about the one I didn't understand. You're right that I could've easily missed it. I did originally assume it was a litterbox cleanliness problem, but I very early on I noticed that I'd clean the litter box, and then within an hour, the cat would go in it, pee, bury it, hop onto the chair, and poo right in front of me. I've been reinforcing "not on the chair" with a fan pointed at the chair. The cat hates the fan, but apparently there are too many other places she's willing to poo if the chair is too windy. So she went on the floor, and then I cleaned it and put some trash down on the spot she'd went on, and now at least we've got the trash solution. Maybe she just doesn't like the location the litter box. I could try moving it.

I think "Are you asking the right questions to accomplish your goals?" would be a suitable rewording.
