This guy is real. His name is Denis Avner.
Changing into a tiger:
Though he started life as Dennis Avner, he now goes by his Native American name Stalking Cat, which he shortens to Cat. At the age of 23, he began his transformation by getting the first tiger-stripe tattoos on his body.
Over the years he has undergone an operation to give himself a feline cleft lip and another to give himself a flat, upturned nose. He has also paid for brow implants, and has had his ears elongated.
Every morning, Cat also fixes synthetic whiskers to special attachments that are pierced through his lip.
Cat bears his clawsCat lives in Guatay, a remote settlement in the hills of southern California, and makes his living by repairing computers for the local community.
No anaesthetic
He now travels to Phoenix, Arizona to have his surgery carried out by body modification artist Steve Hayward. Cat cannot go under the surgeon's knife because it is illegal in the United States for a medical professional to alter someone's appearance beyond what society deems normal.
This also means that Cat has to brave surgery without taking anything for the pain. In the US, only qualified doctors are licensed to administer anaesthetic.
