I can't quite determine if the tiger is relishing a good rub up there or down there.

Cats have scent glands all over their bodies they use to mark territory/presence. This looks like a cheek rub against the tree.

I just have a dirty mind, that was why my first thoughts were the rubbing of organs ...

Why does fall/autumn have two names?

The article said,

"...."Autumn," a Latin word, first appears in English in the late 14th century, and gradually gained on "harvest." In the 17th century, "fall" came into use, almost certainly as a poetic complement to "spring,"...."

I understand the early settlers to America from England stuck to their trendy "Fall" while "Autumn" ended up being predominant back in England.

I may be wrong, I read that quite a few years ago.
