A Clowder of Cats?  email this discussion to a friend?

Really, A clowder of cats. That is what dictionary.com says a grouping of cats is, a clowder. I can really say I have never heard of that before. I though it was a herd of cats (and yes I have two biology degrees and my own clowder of cats) so one would think I had heard of it before. Have you ever heard of a clowder of cats? Do you have your own Clowder of cats?

When I was growing up I would have said yes, since we had anywhere from five to seven at any given time. But, now I'm down to two so I wouldn't consider that a clowder of cats. though like you I've never heard of the word. Interesting of what you can find online. Though I wonder if that's just wildlife, or domestics too.

It must be domestic because the only other real grouping of cats that you are likely to see is lions and they are called a pride. I was using dictionary.com to look up some terms and they have a revolving Did you Know feature and this was one of their tidbits of information.

I think that was in one of my dad's bathroom readers once, lol. We referred to our two as a little clowder for a while after we first heard the word but I'd totally forgot about it until now! It's kind of a cute term isn't it?


myLot reputation of 97/100. Aurone (2819)   ranked 24 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

yes, it is. I have three so I might actually have a clowder. I wonder who came up with it?


myLot reputation of 97/100. jesssp (1675)   ranked 337 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

I guess ours technically wouldn't be a clowder, they're more like a pair. I always thought a group of cats was a pride but I guess that just refers to lions.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Aurone (2819)   ranked 24 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

me too. I guess lions are special. Most cats besides Lion and housecats don't live in groups anyways. Most of the others are solitary except when a female has cubs.

i have heard it,but i also have heard "conspiracy" and "colony".
although with my 6,conspiracy often is more acurate,because if they're hanging together they usually are up to somethinglol


myLot reputation of 90/100. marinarovi (913)   ranked 1,192 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

Hi scarlet_woman,
definitely "conspiracy" suits 6 cats perfectly!
(can I tell you a secret though? cats are ALWAYS up to something, even when they seem they are being nice to you for no reason, lol)


myLot reputation of 97/100. Aurone (2819)   ranked 24 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

I have heard colony too. And I like conspiracy "a conspiracy of cats" has a nice ring to it.

Hi Aurone,
First of all, I don't know what "clowder" means. I'll look it up right now.
Secondly, does ONE silly cat who I love deeply make a clowder? lol!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Aurone (2819)   ranked 24 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

One silly cat is good but I don't think it makes a clowder. Its a group of cats. I think I qualify with three. lol.


myLot reputation of 90/100. marinarovi (913)   ranked 1,192 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

Well, my cat is silly and also she's a spoiled only cat.
I thought of getting a little sister for her, but I don't think she'll feel good about it, lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Aurone (2819)   ranked 24 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

Some cats are only cats kind of cats. My first cat Ashley probably wishes she had remained an only child.


myLot reputation of 90/100. marinarovi (913)   ranked 1,192 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

Well, Olivia is a spoiled only child, as I was saying. As a matter of fact, she even vomits on my bed if I ever come back late from work.
