4

First I started to count 3 for each cat, then I realized only 4 corners.

Ok...I got it. I spent hours on this. There are 12 cats in total.

OMG you are cracking me up here, stevensm4 you are so wrong, back to the drawing board.

There are 4 cats. People tend to over think things. The other 3 are not really "in front" of the others as some are sort of to the side.

Plennis, I was, at first thinking the same thing you did.  Then if you think too hard there are 3 cats in front of every other cat so where does it end.  You got like a million cats in the room depending on how big the room is.

It could also be 16 if you count 4 cats in every corner.  This is one of them riddles people fight about on the internet. Google it.  There are 2 different answers and possibly three.  One being 4 and one being 16.  Or as I originally thought an infinite amount of cats as in front of the 3 would be 3 so that would add 9 added to the 4 and it keeps going.  SO it just depends on which answer you found first and want to believe.  This is one of them things people fight about on facebook til people are unfriending family and friends because they can't agree.

Cateyes1, you are making my brain hurt!  I spent time on your joke and now the riddle.  I'm definitely not a math person, so when I saw it had to do with numbers, my expectations were not high, but I always give it a try.  I went with the infinite number theory because I could just picture 3 cats in front of every single one.  Thanks for the brain exercise!  I need it!
