Klingons are supposedly allergic to tribbles IIRC.
To their brainwaves. And more like the opposite (instead of purring, the tribbles shriek in the presence of a kingkon, and he's annoyed)

Because, like actual humans (not Trek humans) they find cute furry things rather annoying. And because they can tell a human from a kling in disguise. And because they ate the poisoned food that was meant for the station crew/visitors/whatever.

Do tribbles even have nouths? The have so much fur you cant tell. Could they be similar to sea urchins, with a mouth underneath them and what not? If so, could a tribble bite you? If it did, do you think it would hurt?

That's what I've always wondered. I found the Tribbles rather horrific, since I couldn't help but imagine you'd flip one over and it would have this giant maw and leap at your throat.

Does anyone think Furbies are cybernetic Tribbles?
I had a theory (or dream?) that Furbies were originally a Borg experiment to conquer the Klingons by genetically engineering many Tribbles and implanting them with IR motion sensors, googly eyes and an annoying dictionary of 50,000+ words that could only be described as Treknobabble.

Same here. I even once had a nightmare about vampiric tribbles.

It was in the DS9/TOS crossover episode where a Klingon (the spy) went back in time (from the DS9 series) using an orb of the prophets in order to blow Kirk up with explosive-filled tribble. It also shows what crap Federation intelligence has, or possibly their History archives as the DS9 crew did not know what happened to the Klingons to make them with huge bumpy ridges all over.
We learnt from Worf that the bombardment and subsequent slaughter of the tribbles (they launched a ground strike, but were quickly repelled) was "a magnificent victory". However, some managed to travel with the Defiant back to DS9 and swarmed the station.
Well, have the Ewoks ever defeated anyone in battle without any outside help?

Jar Jar Binks could have taken on those fury balls (they dont even deserve a name..) and Jar Jar made the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!
The Ewoks would have turned them into a food, fried em, baked em and served em for 99p!

Well, it's still funny. These furry balls managed to repel a Klingon Strike team.

It's not surprising that huge numbers of tribbles could overwhelm Klingon ground forces. Need I remind you that they prefer clumsy imbalanced melee weapons?

Yeah, but these are small furry balls for Christ's sake. Someone give me a sledgehammer!

Just goes to show how bad Klingons are at fighting hand to... fur? Mouth?
