This will be my second attempt to submit these markings. Amusingly enough, the guidelines for pet markings came up only shortly after I submitted these for the first time. Just my luck, hey? Or maybe my half-arse submission is what made them hurry up to put it out there. ((The moderators assure me this is not the case.))
Anyway, I failed to make the changes in time because I was in the hospital, so here is my resubmission and hopefully I covered all of my bases this time!
Ahem. Presenting the panda cat markings. They come in two parts. One is the face which consists of the eye patches and ear marks. These can be found in the head regional markings. Then there is the body portion, which consists of the large band that entirely envelopes both front legs, part of the chest, shoulders, and back. It also has both hind quarter 'socks'. I understand I could have just done the front portion and let the maxis defaults cover the hind quarters, but they didn't end quite where I wanted them, or as crisply as I felt was necessary. The body markings can be found in the ful body regional markings.
A word of caution for using the face patches: their shape is largely effected by brow height, eye width, eye shape, and eye scale. Cheek fullness and cheekbone definition both can alter the eye patches into interesting shapes, taking them from their preferred sloped, vaguely kidney-shape.
The markings don't have to be restricted to just making a panda cat. .

The eye patches can also be used for other creatures, such as raccoon cats.

Using the body markings with a blend of Maxis defaults can get some interesting results.
Have fun mix-and-matching these. If so much as one other person out there enjoys these markings, then it was all worthwhile. Feel free to upload screenshots featuring these markings. If someone wants to break it up into more sections (ie make the front and back two separate markings, or separate ears from eye patches) that's fine with me so long as you credit me as the original creator.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
