Besides Jerry, he also has trouble with other characters. Tom is usually defeated (or very rarely, killed, like in Mouse Trouble, where he explodes) in the end, although there are some stories where he outwits and defeats Jerry. As a slapstick cartoon character, Tom has a superhuman level of elasticity. In newer cartoons, the white fur is gone. In the 1940s and early 1950s, he had white fur between his eyes. In 1945 shorts, he had twisted whiskers and his appearance kept changing. However, over the years (since Dog Trouble), he has become almost completely bipedal and has human intelligence. For example, in his debut, he was quadrupedal. Tom has changed over the years upon his evolution, especially after the first cartoons. Hanna's recordings of Tom screaming have been used as a stock sound effect for the other MGM Cartoon characters whenever they scream, including many of Tex Avery's shorts. His trademark scream (which, ironically, was originally done by Butch in Springtime for Thomas) was provided by creator William Hanna. He is continuously after Jerry Mouse, for whom he sets traps, many of which backfire and cause damage to him rather than Jerry. His only notable vocal sounds outside of this are his various screams whenever he is subjected to panic or, more frequently, pain. He is usually mute and rarely depicted speaking, with the exception of a few cartoons (such as 1943's The Lonesome Mouse, 1944's The Zoot Cat, 1947's Part Time Pal, 1953's Puppy Tale and 1992's Tom and Jerry: The Movie). His name, 'Tom Cat', is based on 'tomcat', a word which refers to male cats. 4.12.1 Anchors Aweigh and Dangerous When Wet.
