I was quite bored yesterday, so I visited my local animal sanctuary.

To pass the time, I counted 612 legs.

This came from an equal number of beetles, spiders, and mice.

Can you work out the total number of animals I counted?

Apparently, one side of a cat has more hair. The findings of the scientific establishment have been corroborated by a special enquiry by the BB Feline Federation. Many hair counts were taken of the side in question and consistently it was found to contain more hairs. The scientists determined that more hair was required on this side to insulate the cat from the elements while it was lying down. Perhaps you would like to examine a cat to confirm the findings. Before you do, can you guess which side of a cat has more hair?
