Sounds like you mean Phil Hellmuth`s classification system, which goes as follows:
The Mouse
The mouse is a tight and cautious player who seldom bluffs and will usually have the hand he represents.
The Jackal
Very loose and aggressive. Tries to run over the table. Vulnerable to being trapped.
The Elephant
Plays a lot of hands and calls rather than raising. A calling station. Hangs around to the river, even with a weak draw.
The Lion
Tight and aggressive. Solid player.
The Eagle
Very good player, to be avoided. Circles above the others, observing closely with his keen eyesight. Capable of mixing up his game, deceiving opponents, and "swooping" down to sieze large pots in his talons.

Hellmuth`s scheme includes only the 5 mentioned, as far as I remember.
Any of Hellmuth`s first three could be described as donkey or fish.
A tiger is just a cat with delusions of grandeur.

Once I was called "Slinky." After some thought, realized that player was quite observant. I do indeed, on occasion, enter or raise a hand and then fold, to let those with greater number of chips get into it ... a method that eliminates others by using their chips.
