7X7 = 49 big cats X 7 = 343 little cats

(49+ 343) X 4 = 1568 cat legs

14 + 1568 = 1582 legs total.

My math may be rushed, as I am in lecture right now.

I am probably missing something because this seems like it shouldnt be hard at all.
I got this too.

Edit** I did it completely differently

7 girls = 14 legs
49 big cats = 196 legs
343 little cats = 1372 legs

Total legs = 1582
