"Cat of Prey" is a part of the 17th episode of Tom and Jerry Tales, originally broadcasted on October 13th, 2007.
Synopsis[]
Tom sneaks into an animal park (based on Sea World) and he will stop at nothing to make a meal out of Jerry, who is the star of the show.
Plot[]
In an alley, Tom searches through a trash bin for food and finds a fish bone that doesn’t appeal to him. His attention then turns to an advertisement board featuring Jerry, where Tom imagines the mouse as a mouthwatering sandwich. Driven by hunger, he quickly sets off in pursuit of Jerry.
At Sea World, Jerry captures the audience's attention as he calls upon his magnificent bald eagle friend with a special whistle. The eagle swoops down, performs a majestic flight with Jerry, and then returns him to the stage. Jerry acknowledges the cheering crowd with a wave, but Tom sneaks onto the stage, intent on capturing him.
When the cat lunges at Jerry, the eagle intervenes, seizing Tom and lifting him high into the air. The eagle releases Tom, sending him plummeting over a piranha tank, resulting in a hilarious struggle for escape. After a series of comical misadventures, Tom finds himself crashing into an ice cream cart, sending it rolling uncontrollably and flinging him into the sea lion show.
In the show, a California sea lion humorously interacts with Tom, licking the ice cream off him while the audience laughs. Tom attempts to evade the sea lion's playful antics, but to no avail. Feeling exhausted, Tom is set down, only to be hoisted again by the sea lion, which continues to entertain the crowd.
Meanwhile, Jerry is busy signing autographs for his fans, including a small grey mouse named Tuffy. When Tom demands an autograph, Jerry cheekily scribbles on a photo of the cat, infuriating him. In a fit of rage, Tom gives chase, leading them both through the aquarium.
During the chase, Tom finds himself cornered by a giant Pacific octopus, who proposes a deal: Tom must release Jerry in exchange for his freedom. As Jerry playfully rides the octopus's tentacles, Tom hilariously struggles but ultimately agrees.
After being freed, Jerry waves goodbye to Tom as the octopus playfully tosses him back towards the sea lion show. Once back, the sea lion continues its antics, pleasantly annoying Tom, who is still dressed in a makeshift eagle costume.
However, Tom’s plans for revenge are thwarted when the real eagle swoops in, causing chaos and a frantic aerial chase. In the commotion, Jerry cleverly bites Tom’s thumb, prompting the eagle to release him. With a final plan in mind, Jerry quietly communicates with the eagle, which grabs Tom and sends him soaring once again, much to the audience’s amusement.
As the episode concludes, Jerry enjoys his popcorn, reflecting on the day's antics. The screen fades as the audience cheers, delighted by the show.
