Answers:
10990 :)Www@Enter-QA@Com
Well, it doesn't say that there is a bus driver, so I'll give one answer with and one without!.
7*7=49 backpacks
49*7=343 cats
343*7=2401 kittens
Now,
7 girls*2 legs each=14 legs
343 cats*4 legs each=1372 legs
2401 kittens*4 legs each=9604 legs
14+1372+9604=10990 legs
14+1372+9604+2=10992 legs, including the bus driver
So, 10990 without a bus driver and 10992 with a bus driver!.
However, it's impossible to completely tell because there could be other people on the bus and other animals (or bugs) on it too!.
It could also be just 14 because it doesn't say that the girls have the backpacks, cats, or kittens (little cats) with them on the bus!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If you only count the legs of the girls saying that cats have paws, then it's 14 (16 if you include the driver)!.
If you count the cats, then it's 10990 (10992 if you include the driver)!. 14 girls' legs, plus 1372 big cats' legs (7*7*7*4), plus 9604 small cats' legs (7*7*7*7*4)!. 10990!. Plus 2 legs for the driver if you like!.
Hope I'm right!. The natural reaction would be to say that a bus has no legs, but you told me not to!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

without knouwing how many fleas each cat has I can not compute this (cats that ride in schoolbuses allways have fleas)
But with out any fleas or anyone else in the bus then 7girls x7backpacks = 49 backpacks x7big catsx7little cats=2744 cats X 4 legs each=10976 cat legs + 14 girl legs =10990 legsWww@Enter-QA@Com
