Background [ ] History [ ] Tom and Jerry cartoons [ ] His full name "Tom Cat" is based on "tomcat", a phrase which refers to male cats. He is very rarely heard speaking with the exception of a few cartoons (such as the Tom and Jerry Tales League of Cats Tom and Jerry: The Movie Jerry , for whom he sets traps, many of which backfire and cause damage to him rather than Jerry . Tom very rarely sets out to eat Jerry , but only to hurt or compete with him, going to great lengths in order to just strategically taunt Jerry (even as revenge), rather than the stereotype of a predatory cat and mouse pairing. However, Tom is shown to get along with Jerry , let alone bonding secretly with each other in terms of their friendship in reality over a mutual sentiment towards an unpleasant experience. Multiple times, the story will start with him having nothing against Jerry, and is merely chasing him out of fear of receiving abuse at the hands of his owner if he doesn't do his job as a cat.
Personality [ ] Tom's personality has changed remarkably over the years, especially after the first episodes. For example, in his debut, he was quadrupedal and had normal cat intelligence. However, over the years (since the episode Dog Trouble Jerry getting the best of him in the end, although there are some stories where he outwits, defeats, and gets the best of Jerry .
Voice actors [ ] Relationships [ ] Trivia [ ] It is revealed that Tom has a younger sister named Thomasina and a nephew named Baby Booties in Tom and Jerry Tales , episode Babysitting Blues . Gallery [ ] External links [ ]
