Are the ends the corners of each room? If so, are we also counting the corners on the ceiling?
Well, it's only 1 room. And yes, the corners is the ends of the room. And no, the ceiling doesn't count.
Hmm....in that case, one answer to that question is 4 X n. Because since their are four corner to the room, their has to be by default four cats by default, one in each corner. Since you added the condition that a cat is ' sitting on a tail' , however, that means at that count there is 4 * 2 cats in the room, with the 'new' set of cats sitting on the default's set. Since you added four new cats in the room, however, you now have 4 more tails that have to be sit on by a cat, so now there is 4 * 3 cats in the room (newest sitting on 'new', 'new' sitting on old). And so on and so forth until infinity, or until the room can not hold anymore cats (assuming the room isn't infinitely large).
If the room is REALLY small, though, then another answer could be just 4, if the cats are close enough to sit on each other's tail while sitting in their own corner. Or if the cats tails are ridiculously long. They could also be sitting on their own tails, leading to the answer also being four. And that is not going into the possibility that the tails they are sitting on in question are not actually cat tails like I'm assuming, but some other animal/thing's tail, which both simplifies and complicates answering the question (their are four cats, but also four + ? other things in the room?).
Your question is vague enough where all these and more are valid answers. I have a feeling, though, that this was less a serious question and more of a lead in to some sort of joke.
