Feet               Mouth
4 men        8                      4
4 wives       8                     4  (only 4 just seems like more)
8 kids        16                    8
24 cats       96                  24
120 kits   480                 120

Total        608                  160

$$4*(\text{men}+\text{wife}+2(\text{kid}(3\text{cat}(5 \text{kitten})))) $$Each person/animal has one mouth.  Expand the following with the substitutions indicated:$$4*(1+1+2(1(3*1(5*1)))) $$=128
Each human has two feet and each animal has four feet:$$4*(2+2+2(2(3*4(5 *4)))) $$=3856
