seem to have some sort of mystical connection with the boy and then why, at the end, did the tiger try to kill the boy?
I missed some parts so must have missed the connection between the two.

The tiger did not have a mystical connection with the boy. The boy only thought there was a connection between the two, but there wasn't. All the previous times the tiger saw the boy, it simply was not motivated to attack. In the end, the tiger, once it saw the boy did break off the attack briefly but the boy then saw it go after the sheriff. The boy really didn't understand anything about how tigers behaved. Once it started attacking again he likely understood that it might even attack him or at the least, take anyone else he cared about.
