Tapetum lucidum*

As a matter of fact, yes, I do own a Mexican Fighting cat.





*Refers to the effect of a flash photo taken in a low light ambient setting. It's kind of a thing that happens to the fair-eyed. The flash hits too quick for the eye to blink, and the result is some king of bizarre reflection involving melatonin, dilation and the back of the eye, an effect that leaves me clueless. It, tapetum lucidum, is not latin for Mexican Fighting cat.
