I heard something about Tigers being specially breeded to be pets. They are smaller than real Tigers and I heard someone call them "Paw Paw Tigers" not sure if the spelling is correct, but thats how they pronounced it. Does anyone have information on these domesticated Tiger's? (Also I am not talking about toygers which are cats that are breeded specially to have a fur coat like a tiger, the pet I am looking for is bigger than a dog smaller than a tiger)

Tigers are wild animals and not domesticated. There is no miniature version of them.
There's a breed of domestic cat being bred to have tiger type stripes, they're called a Toyger, as you said, but the cat fancy doesn't recognize them as a full breed yet.
You might be thinking of a Savannah? That's not a tiger but it's a cross between a Serval cat and a domestic cat. They're illegal in some states.

Gee, I would imagine that a pet tiger would still be called a tiger.
Think about it, a feral cat that is adopted out and made into a pet is still called a cat.
Taming a breed doesn't change the breed.
Oh, and I highly doubt that keeping a tiger as a pet is legal.
