Tribute to Kleintjie Gattaca ♥

Kleintjie Gattaca played Rosie Commandos on Meerkat Manor: the Next Generation, where her sister Nikita (Zorilla) harshly evicted her. After that event, she disappeared from mention on the show.. But that doesn't mean she didn't surivive.. With the help of a relative and four males (two being Whiskers), Kleintjie founded a new group, named the Kung Fu. Kleintjie was born on the 23rd of November, 2003, and is still alive today, making her the KMP's oldest living meerkat. Her gang now stands with 30+ members. I believe that's quite an achievement. Go Kleintjie! (:

Temporarily putting my saddening-tributes aside, I decided to quickly make a feel-good video. There are no super-awesome special effects in this, just a bit of 'warmth' and fitting African music, courtesy of a beautiful song from the movie The Meerkats. This song is either called 'Lonku Uthando' (Looking for the Light) or 'Kahngelu Kukhanya' (Love is All). I'm not sure which one.. Haha.. Both of them are composed by Sarah Class.

FACT TIME;
• Kleintjie is the last of the Gattaca group.
• Her mother (Risca) was a Whiskers meerkat.
• Zaphod Vivian is her uncle.
• Her birth-group (the Gattaca) made an appearence in the first season of Meerkat Manor.

*gasp* Awww, this is amazing!!! Wait, Risca was her mother?! OMG, what else don't I know!!! OMG!!! Wow!

[MeerkatGal]

@Stlbluesgirl101 YEP, LOL. Her partner is also alive today, he happens to be a Whiskers' boy - Ningaloo Whiskers. He played the pup 'Clive' on Meerkat Manor. :D

Lovely once more! <3 Another 'kat I wish had a longer appearance time on the show... And it certainly is quite an achievement, her creating such a successful mob, considering just how rare it is for new-formed groups to survive... love Kleintjie! ^^

[MeerkatGal]

@FlowerOurQueen Thankyou!!<33 (Again! :'D) It's great to hear about an evicted meerkat who, against all odds, manages to establish a whole new group! Especially one as big as the Kung Fu. She's a real fighter, this last Gattaca girl. n_n
