Now, a video posted to TikTok by pet owner Nina Boyd has gone some way to shattering the myth that cats have the edge over their rodent rivals. While the slapstick elements of the duo's antics have played a large part in their continued success, at its heart Tom and Jerry is an underdog story with the idea of a mouse regularly outsmarting a cat at odds with expectations. Tom and other foes can be stunned by the burners if Jerry touches it, he will lose a life.A video showing a mouse easily escaping the clutches of a cat and her kittens is being dubbed a real-life version of cartoon favorites Tom and Jerry.įirst created by legendary animation duo William Hanna and Joseph Barbera back in 1940, the trials and tribulations of Tom and Jerry, a cat and mouse regularly at odds with one another, are an enduring classic with a new film and series released in 2021. Jumping on the switches, which resembles timers, activate surface elements, which can burn and be used aganist Jerry or the enemies. Players can also lose a life if they fall off from the platters. There also a few obstacles that need to be avoided, such as burners (which can be use as a platform or a potential danger, as it turns on and off).

Lives are lost if any of the cats catch Jerry. Jerry has to avoid Tom, as well as the two kittens Muff and Puff, who try to catch Jerry and serves as enemies in the levels. 100 points are earned by collecting sausages and an extra life by collecting a heart. Special platforms, including cake (that can only be used once) and gelatin (which makes Jerry jump two spaces), can be used by Jerry. Players are to collect all cheese to complete a level whilst jumping on plates that serve as the platform. Players move Jerry by pressing the four arrow keys, traversing him awhile jumping on plates and over obstacles. Players start with Jerry in a level standing on tea cups, which serves as the starting point for him alongside for Tom, Muff and Puff. Players can choose either easy and hard in skill level, with about 20 levels in each difficulty there are 10 levels in both easy and hard.
