7 people: 7 x 2 = 14 legs
Big cats: 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372 legs
Little cats: 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604 legs
Total: 14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 legs

it cannot be 70.
7 x 4= on the bus = 28 legs
7 x 7 = backpacks = 49 backpacks
49 x 7 = big cats = 343 big cats x 4 legs = 1372
343 x 7 = little cats = 2401 little cats x 4 legs = 9604,
so there are 28 + 1372 + 9604 = 11,004 legs on the bus..
BUT.... busses don't have legs, so I guess the answer is 0!

70 legs
7 x 2 = 14
7 x 4 = 28
7 x 4 = 28
14 + 28 + 28 = 70
