A Scottish word for a cat, or a character name (often a cat) in medieval Scottish beast fables and stories.
From Scots, possibly from Old French 'baudre' or related to Germanic roots. 'Baudrons' appears frequently in Scottish animal tales, especially in Reynard the Fox-type narratives.
Baudrons became famous through Scottish literature as the name of a cat character, showing how animal names in stories can become so beloved they overshadow the original word—readers remember the cat more than the vocabulary.
