I think you mixed up Japanese and Chinese.
Japanese has inu for dog and neko for cat.
For tiger it is "tora".

The chinese word for tiger is èè - lao3 hu1
è means old and è means tiger but as a compound they mean Tiger
Interestingly I found that cat = èç« (hu1 xiong2) which in chinese means 'tiger bear', and dog = å®¶ç¬ ï¼jia1 quan3) is 'house dog'. It's close, but not close enoughï¼

The language is Japanese and the word for
tiger is "tora". Remember the movie, "Tora, Tora, Tora"?
That means "Tiger, tiger, tiger".
