Bonding Requirements
Looks like empathy is the main requirement, based on the failure message:
You sense that the black male panda bear feels as though you could use more affection and warmth in your life.
(One was successfully bonded with a buffed empathy of 130 and not much else besides a couple of trains as a fresh human VV explorer)

The familiar grants the following while in its presence (scaling to full bonus at Complete):
- Adds Empathy at 1.4x to Attack and Damage Rating.
- Adds Centering at 1.2x to Attack and Damage Rating.

Attribute Modifications
A Panda will grant its consort a large bonus to Ego and a smaller bonus to Willpower.

You sense a gentle welling of comfort from your panda familiar.
Sometimes you will regenerate earth energies with the message
