But, however, after this incident, he gets slammed on the head by Crooked Eddie, who breaks free from the concrete statue.īutch is a Tuxedo Cat with yellow and black eyes. He gets angrier as chicken noises go off and he begins to put on a tough guy act. He later asks if he's talking to him, and the narrator answers his question and says " Yeah, you don't have the guts."īutch gets offended at this comment, later on in the episode Butch states: " Are you calling me a chicken?". In another Season 4 episode called The Maltese Pigeon, he threatened to slam a pigeon statue (which had Crooked Eddie in it), the narrator taunts and dares him to do it. Causing Tuffy to go back to him in the middle of the night to try and get him back to his old ways. In another episode, The Devil You Know, after he had a nightmare, he started acting nice to mostly everyone yet went way too overboard with his kindness. He trades Tom for his cat food, just for his bone he found in the trash. In The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) he's a scammer in the episode " Wish Bone". Curiously, in the Tom and Jerry Tales episode Beach Bully Bingo, he has an unusual crush on Jerry's girlfriend, Toots. He's a womanizer, as you see in Springtime for Thomas, Casanova Cat, and other shorts. Butch loves "stealing" girls that Tom is trying to score with. He often parties in Tom's house alongside his gang and like Tom, is an enemy of Jerry. His mischievous antics sometimes provoke anger from Tom and even Spike.

He often talks, even when it has nothing to do with his business. Initially, Butch is a loud-mouth cat, a trait that continues to the modern era. Since Butch has had many appearances in the Hanna-Barbara era (1940-1958) and the modern era of Tom and Jerry, Butch has a wide range of behaviors. In The Tom and Jerry Show (2014), Butch is smitten with Dollface and flirts with her, and also tries to make his rounds with Toots as well. Some people think that this muscular bodybuilder cat who is as strong as Spike isn't the same as Butch. He also flexes his arm muscles and slightly appears to have abs. He also appears more muscular, having well-trained pecs and stomach muscles. In the episode Beach Bully Bingo, he appears in red swimwear. In season 2, his voice changes to a more generic Brooklyn "tough guy" voice. In the first season, Butch's voice sounds like a Bobcat Goldthwait impersonation (which matches with how he sounds in Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring). In A Mouse in a House, Butch does compete with Tom in order to catch Jerry, he and Tom work together throughout the short (but both fail miserably) to catch Jerry.īutch is the leader of the Alley Cats (usually Lightning, Topsy, and Meathead) who are friends with Tom and at times, join him in tormenting Jerry.īutch also appears in the Tom and Jerry Tales series. His first appearance in the Tom and Jerry cartoons was Baby Puss, alongside Topsy and the already-established Meathead. Butch was originally created by Hugh Harman for the MGM short The Alley Cat along with Toodles Galore a character model sheet for the short refers to him as Tom.
