Just type "h" for help under less. The key [End] goes to the end of the 
file. As the file is large, it will take sometime to load first 
(calculating line numbers) before it allows you to browse. Or (man 
rules!):

    +      If a command line option begins with +, the remainder of that 
        option is taken to be an initial command to less.  For example, +G 
        tells less to start at the end of the file rather than the 
        beginning, and +/xyz tells it to start



Or you might want to use "dog" instead of "cat" ;-)
