The following lists of tiger cat names are suitable for any cat whose coat resembles that of a tiger. Most cat owners choose them for cats with a tabby coat pattern.
Go through them and who knows, you might choose an example from this list to name your new feline friend! They don’t have to have a tiger-like coat pattern, of course. Tigers are cats, too, am I right?
