Here I have uploaded a folder of the dataset that contains 24864 pictures of cats and dogs that can be used to train a CNN classifier that can classify between images of dogs and cats.
You can directly clone this repo into your whatever platform like Colab, Crestle, Paperspace etc. and use it right away.
It contains the same file from the site of Microsoft that can also be downloaded from here.
I have uploaded because I couldn't find it over the github in the first place. There were some truncated versions but not a complete dataset.
