 In some cartoons, such as "A Mouse in the House" (1947), Butch battles with Tom to catch Jerry.Butch is usually portrayed as a homeless alley/street cat although in the short, "Blue Cat Blues" (1956), Butch is apparently a millionaire who wins the attention of Tom's love interest due to his immense wealth much to Tom's dismay.Butch also appears in a cartoon in the short-lived Spike and Tyke cartoon series "Scat Cats" (1957) as a house cat owned by George and Joan who in later installments of the original series own Tom.
