You'd have to get a cat indeed, sadly I don't know anything about pet pandas,
but I know about our Pandie breed

If you want one of those, you can find them on the secondary market.

We also have the Firestorm cat that is a free permapet (means it doesn't need
food & never gets sick) available at the store.
