Yes, assuming you have a hierachy animal|cat|tiger.
You can tell Digikam to also set the parent tags (right click on a tag, and 
select "toggle auto" in the popup menu).

If you don't have those tags in a hierachy, you will have to attach all three 
of them manually (Digikam doesn't know a tiger is a cat is an animal...)
