There were two cats behind a cat two cats in front of a cat and one cat in the middle. How many cats were there in total?

Well, isn't that just a delightful puzzle! If we picture it in our minds, we see the two cats behind, the one in the middle, and the two in front. So, in total, we have five sweet little cats enjoying each other's company. Just imagine them all purring and playing together in a lovely garden scene.
