teeming
teemingly
Teeming means completely full, especially with living things. If your grandmother's apartment is teeming with cats, she sure has a lot of them.
Any time something (or someplace) is filled with life, it's teeming with it. A gorgeous purple garden in the south of France might be teeming with lavender plants, and you might describe the crowded state fair grounds as teeming with people.
