Busses don't have legs. Answer -zero
We assume that each cat and kitten has the normal four legs and that each girl has two legs.
Question:
Did the girl who got off take her 8 baskets of animals with her?
If no then
10+2400-2=2408
If yes then
We have 2*5 +5*(2*4*3*5*4)-2*2*(4*3*5*4)=1450

PS I would call the Humane Society. You aren't allowed to have that many cats per person 24 cats each (not including kittens) without a permit as an animal shelter.
