I've heard this as well. I personally like "sky-tiger," but I also feel the owl is robbed a little by this, as owls showed up shortly after the dino extinction 65 MYA while cats have "only" been around for about 30 million years, so if anything, the cats are land owls.

Nay, cats are land owls. The owls have been around almost twice as long. 🦉
