MatcomNews Update: Remember CATMAN? Heeeeee's Baaaaaccckkk

The man responsible for the majority of Stalking Cat's most extreme procedures is Phoenix body-modification artist Steve Haworth. He could not be reached for comment, but Stalking Cat is featured on Haworth's Web site, www.stevehaworth.com.

Stalking Cat said he next plans to start tattooing the rest of his body with tiger stripes and to go back to Haworth to have stainless-steel mounts implanted in the top of his head so he can attach catlike ears to them. But further procedures will have to wait while he goes about the more mundane process of finding a job and fixing up the home he has shared since May with friends Tess Calhoun and Rick Weiss.

"The people here have been pretty welcoming," he said.

He has already found a local manicurist to paint his fingernails. "They don't look very good today," he said, examining the tiger print detailing on them. "I'm still teaching her how to do it."

"I think he fits in well on the island," said Sarah Pankau, 18, who works near Stalking Cat's house. She said there's already a diverse mix of people on the island and he's a welcome addition.

Nevertheless, not all islanders have embraced him. After Stalking Cat announced his move on his online journal, a person with the screen name "atomicdrunk" said, "... we have lots of hunters here. You can move here if you agree to stay in the woods and not wear orange."

9. Is this a touchy subject?

And if so, why?

[LynzM]

12. Yeah....

Do a search on it from several months ago. Body mod is pretty debatable, in terms of what people can reasonably expect society to accept and embrace, and how everyone feels about that, on both sides. In fact, I hesitate to post this for worry about my choice of words...
