clowder

[klou-der]

noun:

a group or cluster of cats

Explanation

A clowder is a delightfully specific term for a group of cats. The word is thought to be related to "clutter," a more general term for a disorderly group. Whether the felines are lounging in the sun or catching mice, clowder captures their collective charm (and mischief).

Example: The clowder of neighborhood cats gathered on the porch every evening to wait for their food.
