I didn't find _vulch_ in the OED.

As defined in the UD:

"vulch. Verb: To vulch - vulching, vulched: The act, or process, of
acting like a vulture."

However, IME, this word was invented dekkids ago by Charles Schulz, to
describe a particular manner - that defined above - in which Snoopy
liked to sit on the roof-ridge of his doghouse.

Cat-people are wont to use _vulching_ to describe the feline habit of
sitting, vulture-like, on the edge of some household promontory, as
they deign (I don't know whether _deign_ can be used outside of a
negative context, but WTF?)  to observe the mortals beneath.

This use is also noted in the UD.
