pameladlloyd: Alya, an original character by Ian L. Powell (smug white cat)
My friend, [livejournal.com profile] lnhammer, also keeps a journal he calls Larry's Pretty Good Word of the Day, over at [livejournal.com profile] prettygoodword. Tuesday's word was actually a pair of words with similar meaning: "mickle" and "muckle."

While "donating" rice over at Free Rice, I came across another word, which I just couldn't help sharing: "clowder." You see, we've got a mickle clowder of cats. Which means, to use more common terminology, that we have a large group of cats.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention, that AskOxford.com has an entire section on the terms used for collections of animals.
