This cat used up his 9 lives. [Tiger man 'Stalking Cat' dies]

They suspect suicide. He appeared many times for Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

He lived in onopah, Nevada and was an American Indian. All that surgery made him somewhat of a media celebrity.

:eek: Thats one strange cat.

Here he is with his whiskers in.

Sporting a tail.

Crazy shit. But I, too, have felt the longing to be at one with teh kitteh. Nap in peace, Stalking Cat.

Is it wrong that I’m more curious about whether or not he had man breasts than anything else about him? Cause it sure does look like he did…

Did the autopsy check for hairballs?

Poor guy. I always thought that, though he was proud of his modifications, he seemed like a sad person.

The question I always had was how “tiger” came into the equation. Was there much of a tiger population that his Native American ancestors would have come in contact with?

I don’t know why but this makes me sad. Maybe he is now one with his spirit animal? I don’t know how that stuff works, but I do wonder why this tiger had fish scales on his arms.

Surprising. He seemed so well balanced.

The method of death appears to be steamroller. Police are questioning local mouses of interest.

You’re a horrible person for posting this. Not as bad as me for laughing at it, but still…

Damn, I wish I’d thought of it first.

He believed he was a female tiger. Batshit crazy. The world is better without him.

Omg so…those were implants too? But…tigers don’t…have breasts…

From the OP’s second link:

I’d say this pretty clearly indicates that North American indians have recent roots in Asia, very possibly in India (prime tiger habitat).

And you gotta like the fishscale tattoos on his forearms - an authentic tigerish detail.

He was a former Navy tech, his spiritual advisors told him to get closer to his spiritual totemby adopting it’s physical form, which is apparantly a Huron tradition…I think he was probably lonely because people judge so quickly, but I don’t think he was psycho at all. Some of the comments on the site are clearly from individuals that truly ARE disturbed.

I like this comment the best, a good one:

“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.” But in the real world such escape is temporary, and when a human aspires to be a tiger, he’s guaranteed to fall short.

Did he rape your dog or something? “The world is better without him,” really? That’s a fucked up thing to say.

Seriously, I would rather live on an earth full of Cat people than someone who would say something so ugly, unless there is exactly that kind of backstory! :confused:
