    A bunch of crows is called a gang <a murder> iirc, is there a term for multiple cats jumping out at you?

    Update: damn I learned a lot from you guys with the google and whatnot.

      A group of crows is a murder, and ravens are an unkindness. Smart black birds were not named with politeness.

        The unpoliteness was likely mutual

      According to this random website (just one of the first results on Ecosia): “While clowder is the most common collective noun for cats, a group of cats is also called a cluster, litter (kittens of the same mother), destruction (wild cats), or nuisance.”

      First time I’ve heard any of those apart from litter, personally. There’s also a pride of lions.

        feral cats are a colony, too.
