What does Tigger mean?
/ˈtɪɡɚ/

Tigger takes its bounce from A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, where Tigger is the exuberant, springy tiger character famous for bouncing everywhere he goes. As a standalone English word, "tigger" also describes someone overly enthusiastic or energetic — a bundle of bouncing excitement.

It's a natural fit for a pet who's a little wild, a lot playful, and always ready for the next burst of zoomies. Tigger suits a companion whose energy never seems to run out.
