Fiat Lux

A double dip of kitteny goodness to help counteract the ongoing bad, bad news out of the Gulf region today.

This is Marcus, the feral kitty who came to us so shy he curled up into a little fearful ball anytime you got near him. He's got far to go before he can be called a fully socialized cat, but his progress towards normalcy and the hope of a happy life have improved dramatically. This is him, after he explored my desk and found the happy spot on the shelf above my monitor.

His coloring makes figuring out his origins a bit of a puzzle. He's definitely got some longhair, and if you look closely he has dark points on his face and ears, which would suggest Persian or a related breed. But he also seems to have a bit of orange tabby markings. At any rate, he is going to be one gorgerous cat.
