I stand corrected.
(Interesting that Wikipedia was internally inconsistent.)

You are exactly right, Bayou. And it is a clowder as well as a Glaring. From my favorite and most definitive online resource: A group of cats is referred to as a "clowder" or a "glaring",[49] a male cat is called a "tom" or "tomcat"[50] (or a "gib",[51] if neutered), an unaltered female is called a "queen",[52] and a juvenile cat is referred to as a "kitten". The male progenitor of a cat, especially a pedigreed cat, is its "sire",[53] and its female progenitor is its "dam".[54] In Early Modern English, the word 'kitten' was interchangeable with the now-obsolete word 'catling'.[55] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CatThe things you can learn on this board are nothing short of amazing. Pixie, you are doing a superb job of herding the clowder and thanks for your work. Glad you noticed, and you are certainly welcome. Pixie
