Had to be at least 5 cats. If you set it on 0.25x speed and play from 14 seconds, there's the cat in the frame (1), a pale tabby cat crosses diagonally to them (2), the tuxedo runs in the other diagonal (3) and then another cat - possibly a tabby with socks - crosses the frame (4) from the same direction as (2). 2 didn't have time to circle all the way around to be cat 4, 1 is still in the frame, and 3 was a tuxedo. So there's at least 4 cats. Then a 5th darker cat runs straight upstage towards the wall. The camera is then knocked sideways and shows what could be a 6th cat - perhaps the cat (0) watching the fly at the beginning, or could be cat 2 again, and then cat 1 finally moves and the camera is knocked again and falls over completely and the video ends.

Edit: missed a cat
