What is the collective noun for your pet?

Lounge

My co-person told me about a discussion on twitter about collective nouns for pets. Collective nouns for animals in English are pretty weird: everyone’s probably heard of a murder of crows or a pride of lions, but here are a few others:

An intrigue of kittens
An army of frogs
An obstinancy of buffaloes
A conspiracy of lemurs
A maelstrom of salamanders

Here’s an article with a bunch of them:

So if there were a bunch of your pet, what would they be called? My co-person says her dog would be a suspicion of Filberts.

My cats would be an incitement of Guses and a vigilance of Claudes. What about yours?

You would probably be a vigilance of everhopefuls, too, come to think of it. I’d be an exhaustion of Rhubots.
