Cat Photos[]
There are 1,000 cat photos in the initial release, some of which were licensed from cat meme website I Can Has Cheezburger. Other photos were created by a community at Memrise's request. Memrise set up a Tumblr and asked cat owners to take photographs of their cats in scenarios, positions or environments that they felt best reflected a particular word of phrase. Users that repeatedly had photos accepted for the programme were paid for their effort.
The Team[]
The six-person team working on CatAcademy at Memrise over the last seven months designed the app
