Tom & Jerry IRL! Mouse Outsmarts Cat Chasing It In Hilarious Video

We all remember watching the iconic television hit Tom & Jerry and laughing till our guts hurt as kids. The unlikely friendship that often turned into a hilarious chase is what made the show a raging hit. However, it seems like the story was far more rooted in reality than we ever imagined.

Cat Gets Outsmarted By Jerry-Like Mouse In Viral Clip

Twitter

A video going viral on the internet shows how real-life cats and mice have a similar dynamic to the iconic Cartoon Network duo. Even in the show, the cat mostly gets played by the clever mouse, who outsmarts the cat chasing it.

Similarly, in the video, the mouse fools the cat that is chasing after it. In the short clip, the mouse is first seen running away from the cat as it chases after the rodent. Then suddenly the mouse takes shelter under the cat's shadow, right under its nose, but the cat is unable to locate its prey. The cat looks confused and dramatically looks around in search of the rat, which is discreetly sitting right between its legs.

Check out the video below:

People On The Internet Were Intrigued By The Video

Reddit

Folks on the internet were entertained by the video. The caption on the Reddit post made fun of the cat and read, ¡°A Natural Hunter.¡± While people online compared the clip to Tom & Jerry the show. One user joked, ¡°Jerry still fooling around on Tom.¡±

One user shared that even they couldn¡¯t keep up with the mouse, ¡°I didn't even notice the mouse was at its feet until the third loop. I wouldn't be a very good cat either.¡±

A fellow noted how a similar incident happened with their pets, ¡°Three of my cats honed in on a mouse near a cabinet. I brought a bowl to pop over the mouse so I could catch it. Before I got close enough the mouse leapt up and startled all three cats. The cats scattered and the mouse charged out of there.¡±

While one hilariously wrote, ¡°They've learned from watching Tom and Jerry cartoons! I TOLD YOU THEY WERE EDUCATIONAL MOM!!!!¡±

However, not all cats are this gullible. Videos of cats doing herculean tasks often go viral on the internet. One such video that restored people¡¯s faith in clever cats was when a pet cat kept a toddler looking for trouble out of danger.

In the video, the toddler was playing around on the balcony and latching onto the railing, which could be dangerous for the child. Seeing the toddler get close to the railing, the cat sitting on it kept hitting the child¡¯s hands away from the railing in the viral clip. Proving that not all cats are easily fooled.
