Biography
Beginnings
Not much is known about Tiger's early years, but he does reveal that he was bred for beauty, which indicates that he comes from an highly exclusive family of cats. This is furthermore evidenced by the fact that Tiger reveals that his father, and his grandfather, were both very similar in appearance.
In Over the Hedge
Tiger comes out of the door and he sees the animals near the trash can and his owner Gladys Sharp shoos them away. He later appears when Stella distracts him when the animals go to the house to get the food. The next morning Tiger falls in love with Stella and he gets netted by Dwayne the exterminator when he captures Verne and the animals after RJ leaves. At the end he and Stella hugs and now he's part of the family.
