Clowder of Cats

I thought that I might give a wee hint to a cryptic clue in yesterday's crossword.
"Unreal low cred for mob of moggies (7) "

Yep, you got it - Clowder.  A clowder is the collective noun for group of cats.  Apparently it comes an Old Scottish dialect word meaning clutter.  But then "clutter" to me implies a certain amount of dynamism, and I think that our mogs may be underachieving here.

Oh Well
