    # prep train directory and split train/trainval
    mv train/ catdog
    cd catdog
    # sanity check
    find . -type f -name 'cat*' | wc -l # 12500
    find . -type f -name 'dog*' | wc -l # 12500
    mkdir -p train/dog
    mkdir -p train/cat
    mkdir -p val/dog
    mkdir -p val/cat
    # Randomly move 90% into train and val, 
    # if reproducability is important you can pass in a source to shuf
    find . -name "cat*" -type f | shuf -n11250 | xargs -I file mv file train/cat/
    find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'cat*'| xargs -I file mv file val/cat/
