I don't know that all of my cats have ever seen themselves in a mirror, but those who have definitely have shown an attitude of "so what." They showed no interest at all. Marko sounds like a very smart cat!
Eldest kitty cares nothing for the mirror. It might as well not exist. Younger kitty is well-versed in the secrets of mirrordom. He will stand in front of it and talk to me by reflection. At first I thought he was just talking to the Zaza in the mirror, but then I called him "silly" or somesuch and he took offense, by spinning around and kerfluffing at me.
Wow! That kind of stuff impresses the heck out of me. My cat, Bailey, ignores mirrors now but when she first discovered one as a kitten she ran head on into it because it looked like the room kept going and then puffed up and tried to figure out how to go around the mirror to get at the "other kitten" that she could only see and not smell.

Hooray for Orikes and Tertius's wedding! I'm guessing there was a lot of pillow fighting involved.
