Why Tom Hates Jerry (Part 1)
We used to have a cat at home but it wasn't ours. It belonged to our neighbour.
The cat just love visiting our backyard and he would drop by daily and say hello to my folks because they fed him with delicious tuna and chicken to start with. I would come back too if I were him!
When our neighbour eventually found out the reason why her cat always came knocking at our door and was gaining weight some more, she got quite jealous and at one point, came and told us furiously to stop feeding the cat.
The owner couldn't really stop the little cat from coming back and following us into our house during the day while she was away at work anyway. Mother couldn't say no to the cat and would invite him to come and keep her company and they soon became friends.
In exchange of mother's tender love and care despite the cat owner's disapproval, the cat began bringing "gifts" whenever she came over - her preys of mice or squirrels!
Apparently, apart from tuna and chicken, the cat must have also been watching a bit of Tom and Jerry on TV and probably that was how he decided on the choice in the token of appreciation!
So there IS some truth to the myth that cats hate rats and I think I knew how it all began.
Long long time ago...once upon a time...

On the other hand, they must be exaggerated enough to provide the entertainment factor that makes cartoons such a popular medium for everything from feature length films to advertising animation.
