Zaphod fathered:

Einstein
Mozart
Shakespeare
Freud
Hawkeye
Logan
Mitch
Cruise
Petra
Machu Pichu
Ningaloo
Popkat
Kim
Flo
Finn
Billy
Miles
Ella
Baker
Bananas
Butch Cassidy
Sundance
Alonzo mourning
Orinoco
Panthro
Cheetara
Wileykat
Suggs
Izzy
Busta
And two unnamed pups that died. MM named them Len and Squiggy

I don't know who fathered Badiel, Stato, and Skinner. They could belong to any of the older males who fought for dominance after Zazu(an old dominant male) was deposed. But those three pups' history and genetics are a bit murky to me. Maybe Pronker or codyferret or someone can answer better.

Wow, 31 is a lot of pups. I know that Machu Pichu, Flo, Fin, Bananas, Busta, Orinoco and Cheetara are still around with Shakepeare, Mitch and Suggs being Lseen or missing. Now, what is up with the rest of them? Is Busta really Buster? I believe that if Cheetara were ever to become a DF, she would have one of the greatest DF names of all time!

I just read in the book (chapter 6) that Zaphod DID father Badiel (Tosca) Stato and Skinner. So there's three more!

Yes Phil, Busta is MM's 'Buster'. I agree that Cheetara is an awsome name! But knowing the producer's of MM, they'll probably change it. But I hope not Frown

I think the producers are intelligent enough to realize if Cheetera becomes DF of a group, then they will keep that great name, it's like a football player with the last name of "Steele", or "Powers".

So can Zaphod mate with Maybelline?

Hi trazom4, That's doubtful since Zaphod was the "father figure" for the Whiskers family while Maybelline was growing up. I have heard of one case of an aunt-nephew mating, but it seems to be highly unusual. That's OK; there are plenty of eager rovers running around for Maybelline, RD, etc. Variety is usually good for the gene pool.

P.S. Glad to see you back! Smile

Weren't Pookie, Cookie, & Sookie fathered by a roving male from the Gattaca???

Hi gang.

What about Jogu? It is impossible for me to remember who mothered "non-Flower" pups that she allowed into the mob, so I think I may be off base here. Wasn't Jogu the one that fell into the water trough? With sweet Flower being so accepting of other's pups, I can't keep up.

Suricate VM032,
Yes it's true Pookie, Sookie, and Cookie were fathered by a Gattaca rover when Zaphod wasn't looking.

Nightweaver,
Jogu is Tosca's (Baddiel) son and yes he did fall in the water trough Smile

I wonder how many non Whiskers pups Zaphod fathered in his roving career. Too bad there isn't a simple inexpensive way to determine all of the kats paternity. That would make for some interesting data!

Thank you squirrellygirly!

Yes, Tosca. I sure miss her.

Isn't Super Furry Animal known as Daisy...this is so confusing, but it is marvelous!!!

Yes, I'm sure Zaphod did some roving of his own...it would make for interesting data! I have always liked Zaphod, such a "cool character". I wish him well...he deserves it.

Thanks for the post!

Yes, Super Furry was our Daisy in Seasons 1 & 2.

It is comforting to know Zaphod is still "out there".

Was there another Super Furry in season that was also characterized as the Daisy in the season?

Sorry, I meant was there another Super Furry in season 3 that played the character of Daisy in that season?

Daisy: Born to Vialli/Zaphod...Flower's niece, sister to Big Will. Never seen on MM.

Daisy: Super Furry Animal (Couldn't they do better than that?) Sister to RD, Kink and Raga Muffin; S 1 & 2...

Daisy: Parsley(?) Season 3

Daisy: De La Soul Called *Daisy* by volunteers at KMP...wonder whose personality she reflected?

This has all been posted on this forum at one time or another and now from my *turning to dust* excel spreadsheet. Will be corrected if not right by some knowledgeable person.

Thank you
