To find out how many cats the pet store has, we need to use the ratio given. The ratio states that the number of dogs to cats is 1:4. This means that for every 1 dog, there are 4 cats.

We are given that the pet store has 7 dogs. So, to find the number of cats, we need to multiply the number of dogs by the ratio of dogs to cats.

Since the ratio is 1:4, for every 1 dog, there are 4 cats. Therefore, for 7 dogs, we can multiply 7 by 4:

7 dogs x 4 cats/dog = 28 cats

Hence, the pet store has 28 cats.
