Tigger

Striped, springy cat

Tigger is a character from A.A.

Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories—an exuberant, bouncy tiger who arrives in the Hundred Acre Wood.

His relentless optimism and springy energy have made the name shorthand for someone irrepressibly enthusiastic: She's such a Tigger in the morning.

The phrase the wonderful thing about Tiggers alludes to his self-celebrating song.
