And why would they? They weren't actively promoting OS X as a brand before 10.2, and thus, there was no need to use cat names to distinguish between various incarnations.
Regarding a different discussion, I've been making the statement that Apple's OS X didn't really make sense as a mainstream OS until 10.3 anyway. By 10.3, it was starting to feel quite a bit more mature*, and I suspect their marketing tactics changed to reflect that.

* I ran 10.1, but it felt like a very early beta to me. 10.2 was better but still was beta-ish. 10.3.x felt more like a commercial release, albeit somewhat buggy at times.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

No. It will be Mac OS X 10.A, 10.B, 10.C, etc.

I think Apple has just about used up the whole Big Cat thing.

In place of, and better suiting their current demeanor, it might be time to start naming the OS after notable Pigs instead.

I say this because OS-10.6 really wasn't a full upgrade from Leopard at all . After all, it sold for $ 30 , not the full $ 130 we would expect, and was still named after a Leopard. But it was enough for Apple to impetuously drop all support for my Tiger G4 Machine. Grrr.....

Or should I say Oink !?!?

Your Tiger G4 machine just up and stopped working when Apple released 10.6?

The last machines not able to run 10.5 were discontinued in 2002-2003. If you're still on one of those machines, I don't think you have jack squat to complain about.
