None. None of the cats, wives, kits or sacks were going to St. Ives because you said "As I was going to St. Ives..." [emphasis on " I"]. So, the number is 0, you never said that any of the wives, kits, sacks and cats were going to St. Ives in you're riddle above and the answer is not 1 because you are only asking about the wives, cats, sacks and kits, not you, yourself or anyopne else other than the listed things for that matter.
Answer: 0

It's impossible to tell. The riddle didn't say anything about the wives, kits, sacks, or cats going to St. Ives.

Only one since it didn't mention that the man's wives came along to St Ives.

1 because only you were going to St. Ives everyone else you met on the way and you didn't mention that they were going to St. Ives.

The answer is one because it says at the beginning "As I was going to St. Ives."
