After Shoko falls into the irradiated river, Shoko's Tiger sits down on the shore, implying that it had a deep enough attachment that it would wait for her to come out.

Trivia[]

Shoko's Tiger could be female, as when Finn was recalling his past lives, he referred to Shoko's tiger as "she." However, because Finn initially believed that Shoko's tiger instead of Shoko was his previous life, which was a false first assumption, the tiger's gender is still in doubt.
Tigers are not, or at least were not, extinct in Ooo, as this tiger was still alive.
- However, as white tigers are often a product of inbreeding, the tigers left on Ooo at that time were likely not very genetically diverse.
Jesse Moynihan has confirmed that Shoko's tiger is actually one of Jake's past lives^[1], but this was canonically confirmed in "Together Again".
Like Jake's female version, Cake, Shoko's tiger is a cat.
