We do! I have Tiga Leigh Whitney Ramsey, my 14 year old Maine Coon that showed up at my door at about 3 weeks old in 1996. Tiga because she was striped black like a tiger, but couldn't name her Tigger because she's a girl so I came up with the girly version Tiga, but I pronounced it Teega, I think it's cuter. Leigh, well, I just started calling her Tigaleigh and it stuck. Whitney because Whitney's my maiden name, Ramsey because she adopted my DH Dave.
