@FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website (For some reason your instance startrek.website isn't returning your comment for any of the instances where I have an account, so I'm trying to reply you through a self-reply)Do you feel the cartoon was based in reality much? A cat is a mouse’s predator too, yet the mouse lives to see another day again and again.I live with three cats. When they see a mouse, one of them runs from it, the other thinks it's a funny toy and try to gently pat it without harming it, and the third is too old (14y.o. cat) for ever noticing the mouse. So having a cartoon cat to fail at catching a mouse is not that far fetched from reality lolNow, an owl is very, very unlikely to fail. In fact, the mouse doesn't even get to notice until it's already dangling from a tree branch.It would be a real golden age of television finale if an owl flew into the sunset with Tom in one talon and Jerry in the otherOh... Thank you so much for gifting my imagination such a mesmerizing scene! Now I must draw this kind of scene some time.!showerthoughts@lemmy.world
