Dennis Avner, who goes by his Native American name, Stalking Cat, is known around the world as the Catman. Over the past 25 years, Stalking Cat, 47, has received so many surgical and cosmetic procedures he’s lost count. And he says all of them – from full-face tattoos to fanged dentures to steel implants for detachable ‘whiskers’ – have been done to achieve oneness with what he calls his totem, the tiger.
“I’m Huron and Lakota,” he said, relaxing barefoot in his Freeland living room. “I’m just taking a very old tradition, that to my knowledge is not practiced anymore.”
Funny, I would’ve bet his totem was the jackass - but hey, whatever floats your boat. I’m thinking though, if you decide to commit yourself to a look like that, you should probably be changing your name to unemployed cat cause you are assuredly limiting the career options.
