As mentioned earlier, we will be reusing the VGG-16 pretrained model, which is already trained with different images of cat and dog breeds from ImageNet (see the list here at http://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/2014/results#clsloc). The original VGG-16 model had 1,000 classes of images to be predicted as outlined in the following diagram:

Fortunately, the trained model and network weights are already available on the DL4J website (see http://blob.deeplearning4j.org/models/vgg16_dl4j_inference.zip) and the size is about 500 MB.
You can manually download and restore, or ...
