Because tigers are "big cats" and are wild. Domesticated cats have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years near humans or human settlements, and are therefore easier to take care of. A domestic cat doesn't need a lot of room and large amounts of meat. Tigers are legal to own in some areas of the world, but you have to have a license and your property will be checked frequently.

Gender of tiger?

Tigers are both male and female. As for specific roles, they are probably called the same things as domesticated cats. In pedigrees, cats and dogs are known as sires and dams, with the sire being the father and the dam being the mother. For house cats, males are called toms and females are queens or mollies. I am not sure if that applies to tigers too or not.
