Stock of cats or litter of cats depending on the extent of the investigation and context.

Helen Johnson (asker) Dec 2, 2010:
absolutely sorry again - think I was asking myself 2 questions there while reading the text!
Helen Johnson (asker) Dec 2, 2010:
sorry just realised I think they mean study of a litter of cats/kittens. I can still award points if anyone confirms this idea and puts it as an answer.

study of a group of cats

besättning in this context refers to any group of cats
that live indoors, e.g, a multi-cat household, a breeder's
or a cattery. It does not seem to apply to a feral colony.
