The Answer
There are 4 cats inside the square room.

From the first line, “in a square room there is a cat in every corner” it is clear that there is a square room with a cat in each corner of the room.
Since a square has 4 corners, the total number of cats in the room is 4.
The next statement says “there are three cats in front of each cat”. We now know that there are 4 cats in the corners of the room, when we apply the second line to this scene, it is clear that every single cat in the room has 3 cats in front of it.
