I preferred their incarnation as flat cats in Robert A. Heinlein's The Rolling Stones.
David Gerrold who authored The Trouble With Tribbles said that he was unaware of flat cats when he was writing the screenplay; when he found out the two stories were similar he asked Heinlein for permission to use the idea which Heinlein granted in exchange for an autographed copy of the script.
