A clowder is the charming and slightly whimsical term used to describe a group of cats. While the collective noun for cats can also be a clutter or a glaring, clowder is perhaps the most evocative and less commonly known.
The size of a clowder can vary greatly. It can range from just a few felines gathered together to a larger community of cats that share a territory or food source. Feral cat colonies are, in essence, large clowders. Understanding feral%20cat%20behavior can be important in managing clowders effectively.
While clowders may appear harmonious, there's often a complex social hierarchy within the group. This is usually determined by factors such as age, sex, and strength. Within a clowder, you'll typically observe various cat%20social%20interactions like allogrooming (mutual grooming), play fighting, and scent marking.
The term "clowder" isn't particularly scientific, it is more of a colloquial and delightful way to refer to a group of these captivating creatures.
