yowler

[ you-ler ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Origin of yowler¹

Peter isn't much given to hate, but he does hate Yowler the Bob-cat.

That stealthy form could be but one person—Yowler the Bob-cat.

Yowler hides beside one of Peter's favorite little paths, and there he waits patiently for unsuspecting Peter to come along.

It is partly because of his fear of Yowler, but it is still more because he feels that Yowler is not fair in his hunting.

He waits and watches much as Black Pussy, who is a cousin of Yowler, waits and watches at a mousehole.
