When you say that someone, in this
day and age, has spent over $100,000 on plastic surgery you’re unlikely to even
turn an eyebrow. When you say that someone’s been getting regular plastic
surgery since the year 1980 you’ll get a shrug. When you say that someone has
done both of these in an effort to turn himself into a tiger though, people
start to sit up and take notice. 54 year old Dennis Avner, also known by
“Catman” a navy veteran had Native American ancestry (he claimed to be a Huron)
and went by his Indian name, “Stalking Cat.” Inspired by a chief who told him
to “follow the ways of the tiger,” Avner underwent extensive body modification
to appear like a female cat, including splitting his upper lip, surgically
turning his ears into points, getting cheek and forehead implants, filing his
teeth, as well as numerous tattoos and piercings. Modifications include
extensive tattooing, trans-dermal implants to allow whiskers to be worn,
sub-dermal implants to change the shape of the face and the filing and shaping
of the teeth to make them look more like tiger’s. He currently holds the world
record for the most body modifications. Dennis Avner (Aug 27, 1958 to Nov 5,
2012), was found dead with gunshot wounds on Nov. 5 in his home in Tonopah, Nevada,
of a possible suicide.
