Because of the issue with the little kitten, Feng Baikin and his friends had become much closer with Mr. Jiao, and there was no longer the formal interaction that one would typically expect between a landlord and his tenants at the beginning.
The name of the little kitten was given by Feng Baikin. Since the kitten always liked to keep that tiger toy in its den and would keep calling out without it, Feng Baikin simply named him "Tiger."
The name "Tiger" is a common nickname for some people. In Mr. Jiao's hometown, many people have the nickname "Tiger," but it is also a name used for pets, especially pet dogs. Aunt Li and that uncle were both quite satisfied with this name. The little fellow looked tough and robust, and though he was small now, that did not necessarily mean he would remain small in the future.
When Zheng Tan visited to see the little kitten, those two uncles and aunts were standing by, watching it play.
