What is a group of cats called?

go figure...just heard clowder last night on the 5 (,,fox)..huh

Because the asker requested the reply, yes, I knew the correct answer for this. Clowder, I do believe, is an older word more commonly used in the Commonwealth. In the US, we generally call it a feral cat colony or a colony of community cats.

luckycatfay, litters are groups of kittens of the same mother. i have read tons of books that say a group of cats is called a clowder

House cats don't hang around together in groups they have litters so wrong
