Panda

Panda got his name for obvious reasons (although, as you can see below, he didn't actually turn black and white till he was a month or two old)

Panda has a kink in his tail, that he inherited from Chloe, as do Missy and Baggie. We had thought it was an injury when we first got Chloe, but realized it was a genetic trait when two of her first litter were born with the condition.

I do believe Panda may be what is called the "pariah" of the clowder. I have no idea which one is the alpha, but I think Panda is at the bottom of the heap. He gets stressed quite easily if Bandit or one of the others look at him funny. He gets picked on by the others and has been in more than one fight, not of his own instigation. Poor guy.

I try to make it up to him. He loves to sit in my lap while I'm watching TV, so I let him monopolise me while I watch CSI Miami, but is very wary of strangers. He's gradually begun to accept Eric and stop having hysterics when Eric walks by him.
