Thomas "Tom" Cat is the main character of the Tom and Jerry franchise, playing both the antagonist and protagonist, depending on the plot.

His goal in life is to catch Jerry Mouse, usually to eat him, but sometimes it appears to be the thrill of the chase. While on other occasions, they're bossom buddies. Again, this all depends on the plot.
