Thanks for the good wishes, but it would have to be Tiger IV

I don't have any digital photos of Tiger I. He came to us in his middle age from Iowa when my grandmother died. Maybe about 1980-1984.
This is Tiger II who was with us from 1983-2004. He was kidnapped by some girls on a cross-country team who were out on a run and saw a lost/lonely kitten in the countryside.
When they got caught with the cat in their dorm, they begged Coach Laurie to take him. We had him more than 20 years.
Tiger III was a feral cat born in the crawl space below the house of the Ferrills (coincidentally), Laurie's sister.
They never could catch the mom, but the kittens were all given to good homes.
Tiger III was the last of the litter, and definitely the smartest cat we've ever known.
Here's his first photo in 2005.
He used to be a fearsome hunter. I started a web page for him, and recorded over 70 kills before I got bored and stopped posting.
We scolded him for killing birds and after that he contented himself with rodents and lizards.
