I love watching Tom & Jerry cartoons. For a long time I was rooting for Jerry but lately my attention has turned towards Tom. Not sure if the change is in me or in Jerry but I can now clearly see it is Jerry who starts any chase, causing Tom unneccessary troubles.I used to be happy when Jerry escapes Tom's plans but these days I wouldn't mind if Tom bites Jerry - at least once! I feel bad for Tom that Jerry always escapes.
Tracing back to what caused this sudden change of favoritism in me, I am not too sure, but one reason could be that then I was a child and now I am a parent! or it could be that now I watch it from the Start to the End - so I can see for sure Jerry is the trouble maker, the initiator...
It could be possible in the past, I caught them chasing each other in the middle of an episode that I didn't quiet understand the root cause and always mistook Tom for wanting to hurt Jerry. But now I see why Tom wants to get hold of Jerry... It could also be that now I know Tom is a pet and Jerry is a pest in reality!
I agree Jerry is cute! But Tom is cute too! There are times when Jerry has no need to be around Tom - for example when Tom takes his significant someone to the beach or a picnic, Jerry shows up out of nowhere and spoils the whole day or I should say the whole date for Tom... Isn't that a little too much?
Jerry irritates the bull dog and puts Tom on the spot and the dog chases after Tom instead of Jerry... Isn't that outrageous?!
There have been a few times Tom is so close to eating Jerry and then for whatever reasons it loses him or lets him go... It shows Tom's magnanimous generosity. Tom simply wishes to play with Jerry and not hurt him, but Jerry on the other hand doesn't care the least for Tom...
I think it is about time they teach some manners to Jerry telling him to leave Tom alone... or for once Tom should take a bite off Jerry, he calls for it anyway. What say?!
P.S: If you would like to differ, please write a post and share the link with me; I will like to it from here...

Tom and the coyote usually get the short end of the stick. your right about that.
Thank you for stopping by Jeff. I will visit your blog soon...
I've been irritated by Jerry since like always. I wish they filmed a cartoon where Tom finally puts his hands of Jerry, once for good :)
Sorry babe, my sympathies would be with Jerry, real life notwithstanding. Jerry is the one who is powerless against the big bully Tom. In your short-sightedness or should I say selected-sightedness, you are missing the episodes where Tom starts the trouble by planning to eat Jerry or when Jerry is only trying to feed himself.
Jerry is the underdog, small, helpless and completely defenseless except for his quick wit and street smarts. Sorry to disappoint you Jerry-haters, but Disney knows its business and Jerry will never be killed or permanently defeated!
