Answer

10990 legs

My method for solving this was the following:

Girls = 7
BackpacksPerGirl = 7
BigCatsPerBackpack = 7
LittleCatsPerBigCat = 7

TotalBackpacks = Girls x BackpacksPerGirl or 49
BigCats = BigCatsPerBackpack x TotalBackpacks or 343
LittleCats = LittleCatsPerBigCat x BigCats or 2401

GirlsLegs = Girls x 2 legs or 14
plus
BigCatsLegs = BigCats x 4 legs or 1372
plus
LittleCatsLegs = LittleCats x 4 legs or 9604
equals
10990
