I owe y'all a blog post, since it's Sunday and all. But I don't have much to say tonight, and I'm sure you'd rather just look at pictures of my new kitty anyhow.
So here's Tigger, a.k.a. Tigs, a.k.a. the Tiggenator. He's just shy of four years old and still pretty playful. He's settling in okay; I only caught him hiding on top of the kitchen cabinets for the first few days. Today, I clipped his front claws for the first time. He wasn't happy about it -- there was a lot of growling and complaining -- but I didn't end up bleeding, so I'm calling it a win. And he got treats afterward for Being Such a Good Boy, so maybe he'll let me do it again sometime.
Here he is, trying to be a loaf cat. He needs a little more practice -- gotta get that tail tucked up under him.

He is much better at helping me knit. Well, actually, what he's good at is keeping me from knitting. Here he's lying on my pattern with his head pillowed on the project itself.

I bought a tall cat condo so he could see out the living room windows (and also to encourage him to quit jumping up on top of the kitchen cabinets, as if that would work). He was a little leery of that top level, but a spritz of catnip spray took care of his reluctance.

And finally, here he is, being his snuggly and adorable self.

That's it. That's my life right now. Have a great week.

Very curious. I've only known one other cat named Tigger, and his coloration and markings are nearly identical to your Tigger. Good memories for me as it is like seeing an old friend again after many years. Wonderful!
Isn't that wild? I'm glad he's bringing back happy memories for you.
We've had two other ginger-tabby-and-white cats: Pumpkin (a.k.a. Tornado Boy, a.k.a. P-Boy Kitty, etc.) and Fox (a.k.a. Boo). Tigger has the same sweet face shape that Fox had, but Tigger is smart and curious while Fox...wasn't. (I used to say Fox had nothing but a brain stem, lol.)
