Ma nouvelle crête iroquoise

Que t’est-il arrivé? Tu as les cheveux en bataille! — C’est ma nouvelle crête iroquoise. //
What happened? Your hair is a mess! — It is my new mohawk.

French Word of the Day brought me another useful expression “en bataille” — messy. But literally it means “in (a) battle”, so it made me think of military hairstyles, exact opposite of messy.
First I wanted to give the second cat a crew cut — but then I discovered that it is not military by origin, as I always thought. According to Wikipedia, it comes from short practical haircut worn by members of the rowing (crew) teams of American Universities.
So, I went with something completely different.
Green war paint is associated with harmony, and zigzag adds power and speed (allegedly).
