The study attempts to trace the footprints of the Oort comet clouds of planets. Attention is focused on long-period comets coming from the Oort cloud of the sun, as well as 'short-period' comets. The long-period comets are viewed as the comets from the Oort cloud of the sun, whereas the short-period comets of the solar system are interpreted as the comets originated from the Oort comet clouds of the planets, that had existed and surrounded the planets long time ago. Focus is placed on the Apollo-Amor-Toro asteroids, Schwassmann-Wachmann-1 and Otera comets, and meteor showers that are associated with comets. Based on the fact that a class of minor planets has structural characteristics similar to those of the central planetary system of comets and possibly of the whole general circumsolar cometary system, it is concluded that they are probably the relics of the Oort clouds of planets.
