Jerry, voiced by June Foray
Jerry is an extremely smart mouse who is always with Tom because of an accident, a coincidence or because one of the is following the other. He is always chased, unsuccessfully, by Tom, but Jerry always manages to escape.
The "house" of Jerry is always located inside a house. He always makes a hole with the same shape (a semi-oval), and usually seems that there are many holes connected through the house. Jerry sleeps inside the walls, though he has to go out to eat or simply to have fun.
This mouse seems to have a particular preference for cheese. Tom usually uses it as a trap to catch Jerry, though the mouse is so smart that realizes that is a trap and manages to take the food without getting trapped.
Even if Jerry has shown how patient he is sometimes, he can't handle his nephew, Nibbles. The little mouse always gets Jerry on his nerves because he's very relaxed, so relaxed that puts Jerry and himself in dangerous situations.
Jerry, as Tom, has many habits and behaviors which are exclusively from the humans. He sleeps in a bed (usually made with small boxes), walks using only two legs, uses his hands when eating and is almost as smart as a human. Also, Jerry has proven to be very athletic. He can run as fast as Tom does (and even faster sometimes) and climbs without problems.
Jerry often makes Mammy-Two-Shoes nervous. Only his presence makes Mammy scream, jump and get into a chair. However, sometimes Mammy can attack Jerry, and in this case she becomes a great problem to him.
Opposed to Tom's situation, Jerry's life wouldn't be ruined without Tom. In fact, it would be much better.
