Watching them again with my son, I do feel a bit sorry for Tom. As a domestic cat, he's tasked with keeping the house mouse-free. We've had mice in the past, and they are a right fu cking pain in the arse. Cute, but they pis s and shi t everywhere. Tom is trying to keep his house vermin-free - that is not a crime in my eyes. The poor sod is taunted, tormented, and tortured.
Get yourself on I-player and watch Hey Duggee - still the best programme that's ever been made. Pure magic.

With you there Konk. It’s the only thing I’d change about it. I absolutely adore cats. Miles better than dogs and I always want Tom to get the upper hand which he very rarely does. It can be a bit frustrating when it happens so often. In this the cat is the underdog.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but it sort of a metaphor for life. Anticipation, frustration and disappointment. But you gotta laugh at the violence.

Meow.
In a state premised upon the individual over the government you'd have to think that this is almost US Propaganda.101 but, damn, you can't help but have a dislike for the smart-arse little shits.
Cf also Pixie and Dixie...easily the best character is Mr. Jinks..."I hates those meeces to pieces!"
I raved to my kids about how funny it was and was delighted to find a DVD in a charity shop. Of the last series, which was dire. Never been a cat lover myself, so if it inspired a generation of kids to put their tails in plug sockets, I'm easy.
Hilarious. My favourite cartoon characters. The OP is correct though. Later versions from the 60's onwards were poor, watered down and eventually too PC with all the slapstick and laughability leeched out. Cruel? Well maybe at odd times, but you laugh at the idiocy of it all and don't take it too seriously like a snow flake. Watched it last back in November in Berlin as there was frig all to watch on the box over there that looked interesting. Favourite episode where Tom, Jerry and the dog sign a pledge to be nice to each other and share a steak. Naturally it all falls to pieces very quickly and the pledge is ripped up and it's business as usual. Genious!
