Tom is a career cat whose line of work happens to be napping, eating and chasing Jerry. Tom is a cat of few words, content to scheme and strategize about nabbing his elusive mouse nemesis.

With his impish grin and adorable ears, this little mouse is an irresistible charmer. Although Tom thinks he's a menace, Jerry is really the answer to Tom's prayers ... dinner prayers, that is.

Spike, the neighborhood bulldog, is always foiling Tom's schemes to capture Jerry. Spike is sympathetic to Jerry, but mostly he considers Tom a nuisance and is happy for the excuse to pummel him.

Tyke is still a wee bulldog, and his father, Spike, is very protective, being quick to step in if Tyke's in danger. Full of innocence and enthusiasm, Tyke is sweet-natured and proud of his pa.

Nibbles, or known as Tuffy, is Jerry's diaper-wearing nephew. He's small in size but big in appetite.

This gullible little duckling often waddles straight into trouble. Quacker trusts everyone--including Jerry, who often has to save him from becoming Tom's next snack.
