i am so proud of myself. i didn't watch tonight and god willing will not watch the reruns tomorrow.. I will not be devistated over this weekend like i will be next week when i watch both of them and cry my eyes out. I have to see mozart one last time. I know i shouldn't watch but i cant help it. I will say bye to her sweet soul and not watch any more after this season. My nerves cant take it no mo...

Death and suffering stinks big time..BOO death

The scene of the Mozart, Kinkajou, and De La Soul grooming each other at the start of the episode is both one of the most beautiful that I've seen on MM.

Mozart has always been my favoret it felt like my heart was being ripped out.As for Kink i still cann't get those pups out of my mind.Woopie who ever she is i just have a gut feeling shes ok.

Poor DeLa Soul the only female pup of Tosca.She was just too young and afraid to make it without Auntie Mozart.I never held bad feelings for Kinkajou as some posting here do.She didn't deserve to die cold and hungry.Her shaking with cold in the morning light was a pitiful site. Mozart has outlasted them for now. I was saddened that her family wouldn't take her back in. The final shows will be hard too. I pray each nite for this tough little souls of the Kalahari.De La Soul you are with mom Tosca agian and Kinkajou you've come home to mom Flower ,all are welcomed there.

I don't know if I can take any more death. I felt so bad for those girls.Watching Kinkajou shiver like that was awful.I had a feeling she wasn't going to make it.So sad. Mozart has been thru everything, now this. The Commandos looked like a bunch of Meerkat Zombies standing at attention! What a creepy bunch. I think Zaphod will meet up with Mozart and give her some comfort. I hope! I'm always exhausted after each episode. I miss Flower and Carlos etc.. Take Care

I already know what next weeks episode holds and as a fellow meerkat lover, I advise ALL of you - TAPE the episode and then come to these boards and read what happened. Then watch it for yourself when you feel you can. I don't know if I will ever be able to watch it. Still Crying for Flower

This is getting soohard to watch. I feel soo bad for these sweet souls.I not feeling too confident for Mozrt(whos my favorite)I swear she's always standing by the sick and injured, but always getting the short end of the stick.I think they should rename the show to heartbreak on the Kalahari

I just hate how the writers of the narration STILL made Kinkajou out to be the bad guy, by calling Kinks and Mozart "former adversaries," and saying that they're "forced to work together." I know that what Kinkajou did to Mozart was harsh, but if they truly hated each other, one of them would move out! Seeing the girls curl up together and groom each other is testament of their love for one another. It's so sad to see Kinkajou die with the burden of being one of the more less-liked meerkats. That, to me, is the real tragedy.

Well, they were former adversaries, but that was a million years ago for them.

I LOVED the way they groomed each other.
The best scene in the whole episode.

I know it is annoying when someone comes to a board and asks an elementary question but I'm doin' it anyway:

I've watched from the beginning but can't recall: Did Mozart ever have one litter that survived and what are their names. They were left behind with the Whiskers right?

Thanks for helping me out. I first saw 'kats in a Smithsonian mag in 1985/86 and have been hooked on them since. I was so happy to see MM, but this season is a tough one.

Our zoo had 'kats for a while and then sent them packing and built a garden or something. I'm not pleased. Luckily I took some photos and can use them as wallpaper and screen savers. The zoo says they are on loan to other zoos, but I don't think they're coming back!

Poor poor Mozart..she was so strong...if only the Whiskers let her back in..

Last night was tough. I think if Flower had still been alive, Mozart would have been taken back in by the Whiskers; if she did it for Axel you know she would have done it for one fo her own.

Dread what may happen next week .

Sad indeed but true.

Sigh, on the need to rename Dela Soul. Rather distasteful that in her one spot lighted appearance she was given a stage name.
RIP DeLa Soul, daughter of Tosca, granddaughter of Flower.

Thanks for verifying the niece and name thing. Wow, Tosca's daughter, now I'm even more upset.Like her mom she died alone.

I don't know where to start. This episode is disturbing in so many ways. I am glad that the whiskers have been doing so well, but it's summer and when fall and winter come with a group that size it will be next to impossible to find food for everyone. I have been praying that Mozart would find her family and rejoing, but I guess that's not to happen either.
When I saw how thin the girls were, especially Kinkajou. When I saw that close up and her collar was sagging and her sweet face thin and drawn, I just knew that she was in trouble. There again Mozart tried to be the comfort to here sister as she has done before.
It has been speculated that part of the Starskys were killed out by TB. If that is the case, no one is safe. TB is a virus that is airborne, there are strains that have turned into a super bug. Most antibotics won't touch it. I just can't imagine what lies a head for our beloved kats. Somehow I think no matter what it is it can't be good. I think back on all that has happened and I am so sad. Is there any justice anywhere in the world? I think not.

Poor Kinkaju, Mozart, and De La Soul!

At least two of her young from her first litter are still around: Sophie and Jogu (unless Jogu is Tosca's son), and yes they're still part of the Whiskers.

For all we know, Mozart might not have even recognized the Whiskers. She was taking a very serious gamble in getting too close to them, but at least she tried.

Another sad episode. Sadly, I don't think that poor little Whoopi, who depended so much on her two more experienced sisters, could have survived on her own. Although I doubt that we'll ever know what actually happened to her, all things considered, I think her fate was probably quite grim. As for little Kinkajou, so so sad. Her little body just couldn't take anymore. Watching Mozart all alone now is heartbreaking. I didn't expect it , but I too wished so much that she could have re-united with her family. Mozart may have recognized her family, but her family obviously did not recognize her. I think it had been simply too long since Mozart was last with her family so, to the Whiskers, she was simply another intruder to be run off. Too bad the meerkats don't have a special call that lets other kats know that they are a member of the family.

Earlier when I said that this is not Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, I wasn't trying to be cold and uncaring. I really do care for these animals.
I am an animal lover and am not ashamed to admit that I too cried when Flower was killed by that snake.

As I said earlier, I think this is a great show and I am heartened to see other people feel the same way as I do.
Unfortunately, this world has too many people in it such as a certain football plyer in the NFL who could care less about animals feelings and lives. As sure hope justice is served to that person. Enough about him, long live the Whiskers!

Sophie is Mozart's daughter; as you said Jogu is Tosca's.

Also Mozart's pups born on 2/24/06, Miss Lilly the Pink, Ju Drop, Wollow, and Karim, the last 2 being males, are still alive with the Whiskers.

What a loving sister Mozart is. At least Kinks wasn't alone. I was hoping at least Mozart would be able to get back with the Whiskers. They missed out on having such a sweet and compassionate family member.

In the end Mozart was the real leader of the Starsky.

RIP Kink. You were a such a pretty meerkat. i hope you are with all your family members who have passed.

Jeese, now Kinks is gone too? I'm sad for her, really. but I can't help but think the punishment fits her crime of eating mozarts pups.

Poor Mozart. She's been so strong and so resilient. The definition of a survivor.. but the fates just don't favor her. even her old family chased her off like a common stray.

It depressed me, to see the whiskers stuffing themselves while mozart was all alone and starving.

a near record breaking 50 for the whiskers o_o

I'm starting to doubt there'll even be a season 4. Not only are so many people hating the flair and drama of this season, but if i'm not mistaken. absolutely every Kat from the original 2 seasons and even many from the 3rd are dead.

Last week I feel in love with Zaphod. He was always just Flower's mate but I finally got to see his personality and now, I fall in love with Mozart all over again. She has to be Zaphod's daughter, even if not in blood, she has his strength and wisdom. This poor little creature has had such a hard life and has done nothing but care for those around her. No matter how many times that life knocks her down, she always prevails but always ends up alone. It seems so unfair.

I don't know how in the world I can bare to watch next week.

Can we all not ger together and pay to have Mozart flown to Earthlings Meerkat Center so she can live her life out in peace??? I would certainly donate whatever I could. Can't take another sad episode.

Hi petgirl6 - good to see you too! What you mention about the two girls makes them seem even more similar to humans. Sisters in our world often find themselves doing the same thing, fighting and then banding together when things get tough.

Mozart's pups that have been shown on MM are Sophie and Spud... Jogu is Tosca's

Mozart also had a litter that wasn't covered by the show... last I knew all four were still alive

Did anyone see the ad about the fire on the Kalahari? I'm so afraid for our beloved meerkats.

All I can say is that I can't quit crying. Mozart has always been my favorite, my heart has always gone out to her but today it is utterly broken. That poor little creature has endured so much.
