Wacky Word Wednesday - Clowder

Clowder
(CLOU dur)

If you had a clowder,
your life would be louder,
maybe you'd feel prouder...
but please don't feed them chowder.
On feeding dairy to cats, I'm no lauder
and a cluster of cats is a clowder.

No wise one feeds his clowder chowder.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

  1. A clowder of cats . . . new one on me once again, but I can see me using this word in the future.
    Thanks for sharing, Rachel!

    1. Thanks for visiting, Martha! I think I'll be able to use this word plenty in the future. It was new for me too. :)

  2. I'm loving clowder, I've never even thought what the collective noun for a group of cats would be plus it makes me think of a cloud of cats, which is an odd but pleasant image :)

  3. I tried quizzing my partner on this, thinking she, like I, would be educated by this poem. She knew the word already. At least I learned something.
