Scot, I’m sick, do you have any funny or cute stories that would cheer me up?
Aaw hi, Anon. I’m sorry you’re sick. That sucks. I think I can come up with a goo story to help cheer you up.
When Cassie was six years old, it was her first Halloween after I got out of prison, and she wanted us to dress up and match. She wanted to be Winnie the Pooh and I got to be Tigger.
Her candy basket was a honey pot, and I got one heck of a leg workout because she wanted me to bounce a lot. And I sang the Tigger song so much I thought I’d sing it in my sleep. And since I tend to talk in my sleep, that was a legitimate possibility!
And then after we went trick or treating, we came back and watched Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too while sorting and eating candy. It was one awesome Halloween.

Tigger is not a tiger.
He’s a thylacine. Thylacinus cynocephalus. Also known as the Tasmanian wolf or Tasmanian tiger.
Sounds like a bold claim to make? Let’s look at the facts.
Notice how he has a very long muzzle, less like a felid and more like a canid. Thylacine skulls are so canid-like that scientists in museums often got them mixed up.
Tigger’s constant bouncing isn’t super tiger-like to me, but there ARE reports of thylacines rearing up on their hind legs and hopping like kangaroos. They also may have been able to use their long tails as a “fifth limb” like kangaroos do, which explains how Tigger is able to stand upright on his tail.
Most damning, take note of the last line of Tigger’s song. “The most wonderful thing about tiggers is that I’m the only one”.
What does he mean by “the only one”? Sure, tigers are a threatened species, but there’s still plenty left in both the wild and captivity. However, when the original Pooh novels were published in the 1920s, thylacines were a very rare species, and the last captive individual, Benjamin, passed away a decade later.
Also, guess which character Tigger has the closest relationship with?
That’s right. A fellow Australian marsupial.
