What about people who get surgery and implants to look like, say, a cat?

That's just...their perogative? lol.

They want to be a cat...? Either way, it's still their choice in the matter, and if they want the self-attention that badly, they'll find a way to get it done.

I do think that some people get their bodies re-figured for the attention and criticisms that they will get afterwards. I mean, if you saw a guy walking down the street with blue and purple skin with a split tongue and piercings covering his face, wouldn't you stare at him too? Some people crave that kind of outlandish attention (and I will admit that I'm kind of like that as well), and that's the only way to get that sort of mass attention.
