I don't know if this is new or not, but I just finished reading 
"Rolling Stone" for the umpteenth time and noticed the simularity
between the "flat cat" and the "tribble" of "Trouble with Tribbles"
fame. This simularity included the apperance, their effect on humans, 
metabolism and reproduction.  In fact they both pose the same problem 
on a space ship.

Who stole from Who? I do think Heinlein wrote the book before the Star
Trek show was started.
