have I ever mentioned that Ugly Cat is trapping Panda and isolated him from the outside world?
he's not allowed to go outside without UC, he's not allowed to interact with people, or even make friends...
that way Panda will only listen to UC, and only him.
so when UC is pulling Panda away from strangers in public, it may look like "aww Daddy UC is protecting his boy"; but the truth behind it is more messed up.

//!this is actually accurate to the original TDD comic, like in this page: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27085578/ UC forbids Panda to go outside by himself.
