Catherine K’s comment on the last post made me remember something I read about recently — a guy who’s been altering his body for years to make himself look like a cat.

Thought maybe I just dreamt it, but nope.

Stalking Cat started his transformation in 1980 after leaving his post as a sonar submarine technician for the Navy. He eventually settled in the San Diego area as a computer technician, and began the series of procedures that has resulted in his current appearance.

He has had all his teeth removed and replaced with tigerlike dentures and fangs. He has had his lip split to resemble the mouth of a cat. He has six stainless-steel mounts implanted on his forehead and 18 piercings above his lip to which he can attach whiskers. He has had nose and brow implants, and silicone cheek, chin and lip injections. The tips of his ears are pointed. And he has so many tattoos they almost cover his body.

I don’t really want to add in the picture, because it weirds me out too much. But here’s a link in case you want to know.

Like I said, a lot of people are at war with their own humanity. In this guy’s case, the humans are losing. Others of a similar stripe (no pun intended) here, here and here.

It’s getting reeeally weird out there.
