Presumably the term 'tiger cat' refers to the quoll found in Australia. If so, then the quoll and the numbat are more closely related than the numbat and the bandicoot. Both the quoll and the numbat are dasyurids, or carnivorous and/or insectivorous marsupials, being members of the order Dasyuromorphia. The bandicoot is an omnivorous marsupial which belongs to the order Peramelemorphia.

Australian bandicoots belong to the order Peramelemorphia, and their scientific name is Petramele, meaning 'pouched badger', even though they are not mambers of the badger family. They are not related in any way to the animal of India also known as a bandicoot (scientific name: Bandicota).

There are eleven distinct species of bandicoot, and they each have different scientific names, e.g.

The Southern Brown Bandicoot: Isoodon obesulus
Eastern Barred Bandicoot: Perameles gunnii
Greater Bilby: Macrotis Lagotis
Long-nosed Bandicoot: Perameles bougainville
