 Despite being very energetic, determined and much larger, Tom is no match for Jerry's wits.Jerry also possesses surprising strength for his size, approximately the equivalent of Tom's, lifting items such as anvils with relative ease and withstanding considerable impacts.Although cats typically chase mice to consume them, it is quite rare for Tom to actually try to consume Jerry, but only to hurt or compete with him as usual in a more intimidating strategy to just taunt Jerry (even as revenge), and even to obtain a reward from a human (including his owner(s)/master(s)) for catching Jerry, or for generally doing his job greatly as a house cat.
