More on the Importance of Being Pandish

Well I just received my copy of The Way of the Panda, by Henry Nicholls, F.O.P. (Friend of Pandas) and was pleased to see that the photo of my childhood at one the the panda ranches did not end up on the cutting room floor.  I should point out that it was NOT me on the far left.  I would never do such a thing.  Anyway, The Way of the Panda is a real book and you should buy it. ( Avasilable soon from Amazon.com)  Till next time,

Be the Bear! Pandas Rule!

Pandas, while not noted for  aggressive behavior, are not wimps.  We did get somewhat discombobulated during the earthquakes in recent memory, but who wouldn’t?  We do draw the line at people who say pandas are not worth the effort and expense to keep our existence assured.  Is not our fabulously graphic appearance and adorable aspect not sufficient in and of itself?  While we cringe at the very thought of pandacide, remember that we are bears, and could revoke our vegetarian status any time we WANTED.  We’re not saying that we WILL, we’re just saying, OK?

Be the Bear!

Embracing your Inner Panda – an ongoing saga

I’m disapointed that I don’t get to hear F.O.P. Henry Nicholls wipe up the floor with BBC radio guy who thinks pandas are a waste of resources.  My feelings were extremely hurt.  I may have to have a little snack and take a nap to get over it.

Stay tuned for even more about inner panda events!

It’s the Panda Birthday Season!

There's no season like the birthday season!

The narrator is stepping in here to explain a little bit about the concept of “the birthday season”. I invented the season in order to refute the idea  that your birthday should only comprise ONE actual day. Huh! As if that gives enough scope to celebrating, not to mention indulging, all your birthday whims and fantasies. And more importantly, opportunities for cake!

So for pandas everywhere, Happy Birthday Season!

The UnBEARable Panda-ness of Being

Dancing in the moonlight with Pandas

Dancing the "red dot" dance in the moonlight with Pandas!

OK, this has gone far enough! It’s bad enough that there are pandas all over the house and all over the bed and I just don’t want to think about all the other places that those rotten pandas have insinuated themselves.  It’s getting so that a cat can’t relax in her own house anymore.

In case you are wondering, I, Mehitabel, princess of the universe, have taken control of the keyboard from that insidious, adorable menace, Bob T. Panda.  I am currently locked in the bathroom with the laptop, so that I can counteract all the  panda propaganda that has been passing for intellectual discourse around here, lately.  Just what, I ask you is a cat to do?  You tell me.

“Panda On,” my foot!  Felines Forever!
