Mr. Mark, short for Mr. Skidmark, named after a notable brown marking and shaven fur patch located on the area above his tail, reminiscent of a skid mark. His first sighting was not recorded, however the first recorded sightings of the kitty were on March 23rd, 2024 at around 02:40 AM (LFT). He can be spotted at the Lucky 7-Eleven Ⅱ feeder.
After his first recorded sighting, he was initially confused for Little Fella, however the two are very distinct cats, that can be differentiated through different characteristics.
Behavior
From Mr. Mark's first appearance, he appeared to be a notably timid cat, constantly observing his surrounds and cautiously eating (unless there had been a notable gap between his last visit, or after the Snack Ambush, where he has been seen to be eating a bit more aggressively). He also tends to be skittish towards other cats, as he frequently runs away when another cat approaches the feeder. He also has a preference for freeze-dried chicken snacks.
After Mr. Snack's removal from the feeder, Mr. Mark has increased his frequency of visits, acting as the 'alpha' of the feeder, as he prefers to hover and lurk around different cats while they visit and eat. (Notably Ms. Dip, as he appears every time she approaches the feeder, which can denote a potential relationship between the two.)
Appearance
Mr. Mark is a traditional Domestic Shorthair, with a Red (Ginger) Mackerel Tabby coating. And, he possesses a longer nose-bridge and face compared to the other ginger cats of the feeder. His face is slightly too small for his head, and his proportions look distorted to look longer on camera as a result. And, his jawline looks defined, similar to the jawline of a 'Chad' or 'mogging' but as a cat.
At the time of his first sighting, Mr. Mark had a skidmark shaped bald-patch of fur located above his tail, earning him the original name of Mr. Skidmark. But, this was shortened to Mr. Mark in the end. As of May 2024, the bald-patch had fully healed and had grown back. So, he no-longer has the distinct skidmark pattern on his butt.
Differentiating the Gingers
Within the Lucky 7-Eleven Ⅱ, feeder, there is an influx of similar looking gingers, specifically Mr. Mark and Little Fella, who look like twins to a degree.
This is how to differentiate the two:
- Mr. Mark has a narrower and sharper jawline, with puffy cheeks. Compared to Little Fella, whose face is round all around. Plus, Mr. Mark possesses a longer nose line.
- Their face's fur patterns have minor differences, where Mr. Mark's tends to be more disconnected and dotted. Little Fella's are more connected and cohesive.
- Both kitty's back patterns are very different, Mr. Mark's has fainter, less prominent stripes that flow upwards toward his neck. Little Fella's are bolder and more pronounced, like tiger stripes.
- Also, in comparison to Mr. Sneeze, Mr. Mark does NOT have long fur.
- And, in comparison to Mr. Snack, same comparisons to Little Fella, but his fur patterning is bolder than Snack, and also the leaner face.

April
- April 17th, 2024: At around 05:00 AM (LFT), Mr. Mark was seen making his routine stop at the feeder, until he was ambushed by a flying Mr. Snack, flinging himself at him. The velocity of the ambush was enough to send both Mr. Mark, and the feeder flying.
- April 19th, 2024: At around 08:00AM (LFT), Mr. Mark approached the feeder and began eating the snacks. Hope he enjoyed them. He ran away after Mr. Mane approached and entered the feeder.

- April 30th, 2024: Returning to the feeder at around 10:00 AM (LFT), Mr. Mark began eating, however not eating his usually preferred snacks, rather eating the kibble. Perhaps the Snack Ambush has scarred him for the long run. He was scared away from the feeder by Ms. Glare.
