Animal Planet: Welcome to Animal Planet's live Meerkat Manor chat with Mick Kaczorowski, senior executive producer of the series. Mick will answer all your questions about Flower, Mitch, Mozart, Zaphod and the rest of the gang between 9-10 PM ET/PT. So, ask away!

Mick Kaczorowski: I'd like to thank all the devoted fans for joining us tonight on this webcast. And I look forward to answering as many questions as possible.

(Post your thoughts in the "Flower Memorial" discussion forum.)
