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. He is continuously after Jerry, for whom he sets traps, many of which backfire and cause damage to him rather than Jerry. His only notable vocal sounds outside of this are his various screams whenever he is subject to pain or panic. He is very rarely heard speaking with the exception of a few cartoons (such as the Tom and Jerry Tales episode " League of Cats") and Tom and Jerry: The Movie.
His full name Tom Cat is based on the word "tomcat", a phrase which refers to male cats.
