Dennis Avner, who underwent numerous procedures to his body in order to transform himself into a cat, was found dead Nov. 5 in his home in Tonopah, Nev., of a possible suicide. The 54-year-old Navy veteran, known to many as "Cat Man," 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.
