It’ll eat my quadrotriticale!

Too bad there isn’t an animated series about Tribbles that took over a star ship. They are sad about not being let into the Federation, because the admirals think they are too cute to take seriously, so the go on to explore new worlds on their own, often leaving offspring that quickly devour its resources after they leave.
