Appending multiple elements to other elements jQuery JavaScript

I have 7 paragraph elements with the class name catalogue-description that each has a paragraph sibling with the class name redirect-link.

catalogue-description

redirect-link

I am trying to append the redirect link elements to the catalogue-descriptionelements. The result should be that for each catalogue-description, there is one redirect link element as its child.

redirect link

catalogue-description

catalogue-description

redirect link

However, when I run my code, only 1 of the 7 catalogue-description will have all 7 redirect link elements appended to it, instead of one of each.

catalogue-description

redirect link

Here is my code:

HTML:

<p class="catalogue-description">LOREM IPSUM.</p>
<p class="redirect-link">
HELLO
</p>


jQuery:

jQuery(".catalogue-description").each(function()
jQuery(this).append(jQuery(".redirect link"));
)


Desired Result:

<p class="catalogue-description">
LOREM IPSUM.
<p class="redirect-link">
HELLO
</p>
</p>

<p class="catalogue-description">
LOREM IPSUM.
<p class="redirect-link">
HELLO
</p>
</p>

You need to select the .redirect-link that's the sibling of the current .catalogue-description that's being iterated over, else all .redirect-links will be selected and appended to the current .catalogue-description. Use .next() to get the next sibling:

.redirect-link

.catalogue-description

.redirect-link

.catalogue-description

.next()

jQuery(".catalogue-description").each(function()
const $this = jQuery(this);
$this.append($this.next());
)


jQuery(".catalogue-description").each(function()
const $this = jQuery(this);
$this.append($this.next());
)

body > p
border: 1px solid;


<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p class="catalogue-description">LOREM IPSUM.</p>
<p class="redirect-link">
HELLO
</p>
<p class="catalogue-description">LOREM IPSUM.</p>
<p class="redirect-link">
HELLO
</p>

$(".catalogue-description").each(function()
$(this).append('<p class="redirect-link">HELLO</p>');
)
