tom and jerry which one is tom

Tom is the cat , and Jerry is the mouse.

Who Tom Is

  • Tom is the grey/blue house cat who is usually trying to catch Jerry.
  • In many early cartoons his full name is given as “Thomas (Tom) Cat”.

Who Jerry Is

  • Jerry is the small brown mouse who outsmarts Tom in most episodes.
  • He often lives in a hole in the wall and steals food, which starts their chases.

Easy Way To Remember

  • Think “Tomcat” – a common word for a male cat, which matches Tom.
  • Jerry is smaller, brown, and mouse-shaped, so if you see the mouse, that’s Jerry.
