The name's Tigger! T-I-double-guh-ER! That spells Tigger!
―Tigger introducing himself

Tigger is an energetic, anthropomorphic stuffed tiger belonging to Christopher Robin who first appeared in Disney's 1968 short film Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. He is one of the best friends of Winnie the Pooh, with an affinity for bouncing.

Background[]

Tigger is a resident of the Hundred Acre Wood, residing in a literal treehouse. When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name is: "T-I-double-guh-err." As Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day indicates, Tigger is Christopher Robin's latest stuffed toy, as the events of the short marks the first meeting between Tigger and Pooh Bear.

Along with his comedic personality and love of bouncing and pouncing, Tigger is known for his theme song, "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", in during which he boasts that he is the only tigger in existence. Practically speaking, Tigger's "I'm the only one" statement comes from being the only "tigger" ever made, if one takes into consideration the fact that Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and such are all stuffed animals, and homemade ones at that, Tigger is, in fact, the only tigger. Though some Pooh media make reference to Tigger's relatives, The Tigger Movie reaffirms that Tigger is, indeed, the only one of his kind.
