None. Child Protective Services took the children out of an unsupervised and unsanitary situation. And the cats, large and small, were rounded up by animal control.

Does that mean the bus can only posess one cat and one kid? If so, clearly the answer is 10!

Since I know everyone is chomping at the bit to know what the answer is, I'll give it.

There are 10990 legs.

MATH IS VERY EXCITING!
