   THE ANSWER (HARDER THAN IT LOOKS)

   BODIES
   Girls (G): 7

   Backpacks (BP): 49 (7 G x 7 BP)

   Big Cats (BC): 343 (49 BP x 7 BC)

   Little Cats (LC): 2401 (343 BC x 7 LC)

   LEGS
   Girls = 14

   Big Cats = 343 x 4 legs = 1372 legs

   Little Cats = 2401 x 4 legs = 9604 legs

   ADD IT ALL TOGETHER

   14 + 1372 + 9604

   = 10990 legs altogether

   Good Work to those who had a go!!!
