Also, Jerry was much smarter than Tom and tended to always foil the cat's plots and inflict just as much violence in return (or more). Why? Well, Tom was a cat, and Jerry was a mouse. From the early 1940s to the late 1950s - the quintessential era of lushly animated, beautifully scored short cartoons that screened in movie theaters before a film - a grey cat named Tom and a brown mouse named Jerry fought each other to the near-death dozens of times. There aren't many cartoon series that are older or more enduring than Tom and Jerry.
