Tom and Jerry

This is the two characters I like to tell you about.

Tom and Jerry is a series of theatrical animated cartoon shorts created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, centering on a rivalry between a cat and a mouse whose chases include slapstick comedy. Tom is a gray and white domestic shorthair cat. He usually lives a pampered life, although the characters usually live in several lifestyles, while Jerry is a small brown mouse who always lives in close proximity to him. The plots on each short usually center on Tom's numerous attempts to capture Jerry and the mayhem and destruction that ensues. Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's cleverness, cunning abilities, and luck. Jerry tries to outsmart Tom while setting a booby trap things like axes, hammers, firearms, explosives, and poison when he tries to murder him.
