For years, the kitten behind Keith Gill's profile picture was unidentified. A community investigation traced it back to its photographer — and to a name that had never been made public. $TYGR is that name, brought onchain on Robinhood Chain.
Every profile picture on @TheRoaringKitty carried the same hissing tabby kitten. For years, nobody knew its name. Then one Redditor went looking.
The iconic kitten turned out to be a stock photo, shot in 2008 by a photographer credited only as "jkfoto" — listed for sale on iStock and Dreamstime.
iStock had nothing. But Dreamstime's author credits gave a full name — Jiří Kasal — and a location: Dačice, Czech Republic. One search later, Jiří turned out to be a practicing lawyer with a public contact page.
A translated email went out, asking a busy Czech lawyer to confirm the name of a kitten photographed 17 years earlier. Three days passed. Nothing.
On day four, Jiří replied — with the kitten's name, unpublished since the photo first went online in 2008.
"Hello, you've found me right. This is a village kitten, born to my wife's parents in a village building — somewhere in a barn or attic. Most of these kittens were usually given to someone in the surrounding villages, including this one.
We called this particular kitten "Tygr." It lived a village lifestyle — walking wherever it wanted, fed on the doorstep, an ideal combination of freedom and security."
— Jiří Kasal
