Make sure that’s organic, mmmkay?

For a red panda I don’t ask for a lot. Really.

I must have organic pears, apples and grapes.

I insist on hand-feeding [Beady-eye intense look]

I also need my two-toned look kept fierce (Clairol Hydrience Hibiscus Dark Red Hair Color # 32), at LEAST once a month

    Who could possibly say “nyerhe” to such a face?

  30. carmen says:

    squeeeee

    splorttttt

    i is dead……

  31. debg says:

    Maybe pandas (red and traditional) deserve their own category? Espesh since neither are really bears? (Steven Colbert sighs in relief.)

  32. jmuhj says:

    ALmost as cute as cats.

    ALMOST.

  33. Theo says:

    DebG — traditional Giant Pandas are bears. Now, as far as *Red* Pandas, I’m going to have to look it up. I know *Koalas* aren’t really bears; they’re marsupials.

    (…OK, Wiki sez they’re not bears, so Colbert is in the clear)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Panda

  34. David says:

    jmuhj, debg — the Chinese word for giant panda is “big bear cat”, and red (how dare the scientists call it ‘lesser’) panda is “small bear cat”. Just goes to show people weren’t sure what they are exactly.

  35. jen says:

    they are such beautiful aminals, really. i must squish heem.

  36. Lurker says:

  40. Mandi says:

  41. Fat Tabby says:

    I must have organic pears, apples and grapes.

    I insist on hand-feeding [Beady-eye intense look]

    I always read the commentary and then look at the pics to appreciate them even more, so I’m glad I had already put down my coffee when I scrolled down to the intense face on the pic below this. Meg, you friggin kill me sometimes :D

  42. Allison V. says:

    Oh my gosh. Could it get any cuter?

  43. chanpon says:

    Love the tongue action in the last picture. Red pandas are too cool for school.

  44. moonjunio says:

  46. snickers says:

    I have always been a super dee duper fan of red pandas. This just added to my obsessive insanity over them.

  47. catloveschanel says:

    I have never seen one before…..

    I love Creation’s New Fall Line…. Black and White was so last year!

    This is one of the loveliest things I have ever seen.

  48. gravyboat says:
