It’s actually a “clowder” of cats, not “chowder.” And for peacocks, it’s “muster.”
A cackle of cartoonists?
It CAN be a chowder if you live in some parts of Asia.
And that’s closer to the truth than you know. There was a parlor game where people would come up with funny names for groups of animals. Over time, the game lists were taken literally and we wound up with this set of names.
Don’t forget Ginger Meggs! :D
