Though some sources make claim to the total amount that Avner has spent, Avner himself doesn't keep track of the money he has spent. Thus, no authoritative sum is available. Avner plans to attach a permanent pelt to his skin in order to add further authenticity to his appearance. Avner, whose parents were of Huron and Lakota heritage, states that altering oneself to resemble one's own totem is an ancient Huron tradition. The former Navy sonar technician who currently works as a computer programmer took on the name Stalking Cat and began his modifications after a discussion with an Indian chief who reportedly inspired him to 'follow the ways of the tiger'.
As a result of his unusual appearance, Stalking Cat has attained local celebrity status and frequently travels to attend interviews and photo sessions. Stalking Cat has been featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Larry King Live, VH1's "Totally Obsessed" and other television shows.
Although Stalking Cat enjoys the support of many fans, many locals as well as members of the Internet community consider the Catman to be abnormal and sometimes ridicule him for his unique appearance. Because Avner's measures to resemble a cat are so severe, many critics find it difficult to comprehend how a normal person could justify such elaborate procedures.
[editar] Crítica
Glenn McGee, director del Centro de Bioéticas del Albany Medical College en New York, dice de Stalking Cat, "La cirugía plástica es una práctica basada en el consentimiento informado que se necesite para balancear los riesgos con los beneficios. Es posible tener un punto de vista coherente que sin embargo es diametralmente sin sentido para el propio bien de la persona. Este es un paciente quien ha sido constantemente apoyado por la medicina en el interés de sus tradiciones."
