The document provides details about the classic cartoon Tom and Jerry. It summarizes that the plots usually center around Tom's failed attempts to catch Jerry, which lead to mayhem. While Tom rarely tries to eat Jerry, their chasing is sometimes due to normal animal rivalry or Tom's duty to catch mice. Other characters that interfere with Tom and Jerry include other cats like Butch, the vicious guard bulldog Spike and his son Tyke, and the housemaid Miss Mammy Two Shoes.
