* TookALevelInJerkass: In season 1 Ginger was motherly, kind to Tom and almost always defended him. Starting with season 3 however, she has become more harsh and annoying, and is more mean towards Tom when he screws up (the fact is it's actually mostly Jerry's fault half the time makes it worse), and is far less motherly towards him, often referring to him as a "lazy cat". She's at her worst in "Unwelcome Home" where she says (albeit under her breath) "Why didn't I just get a goldfish?", which Tom had managed to hear and it causes him to visibly look heartbroken. However, she does start to revert back to her motherly side towards Tom after the aforementioned "Unwelcome Home" (possibly due to him leaving in that episode), this is best shown episodes such as "The Devil you know", "My Buddy Guard", "Tick Tick Tick" and "Curiosity thrilled the cat".

* TookALevelInJerkass: In season 1 Ginger was motherly, kind to Tom and almost always defended him. In the latter half of season 2 and onward (especially season 3), she has become more harsh and annoying, and is more mean towards Tom when he screws up (the fact is it's actually mostly Jerry's fault half the time makes it worse), and is less motherly towards him. She's at her worst in "Unwelcome Home" where she says (albeit under her breath) "Why didn't I just get a goldfish?", which Tom had managed to hear and it causes him to visibly look heartbroken. Inspite of this, there's still examples of her caring for and coddling Tom such as "Wish Bone", "Hair today, gone tommorow", "The Devil you know", "My Buddy Guard" and "Tick Tick Tick".

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Twice.
** It never occurred to Jerry that his constant victories over Tom would one day lead the owners to buy a new cat that has the experience to catch and kill him.

* StockScream: A lot of Tom's dialogue is made up of Bill Hanna's classic screams from the original cartoons (including the favorite "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" and "AAAAAAAA-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!!!"). Sometimes, Jerry's nervous gulp from the original cartoons (also provided by Hanna) is also used.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original theatrical shorts, when it comes to Spike, Tom would rather use backhanded tactics to deal with him due to the difference in power dominance. In this show, however, Tom has become less likely to deal with Spike's stuff and is more likley to fight and deal with him head-on. However, this may be because of AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul. On occasion, Tom ends up getting the better by the end of the episodes. He's also more competent and stronger than Butch this time around who was previously a rival that often got the better of him in the original shorts.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Spike in the original shorts seemed blissfully unaware of Jerry would take advantage of him to defeat Tom. In this show however, Spike often finds out if Jerry uses him to mess with and is more aware of Jerry's role in disturbing him and Tyke. This often results in him brutalising ''both'' Tom and Jerry or Spike teaming up with Tom to turn on Jerry if he knows Jerry is completely in the wrong.

* BuffoonishTomcat: Meathead being an [[TheFool lucky]], [[CaptainOblivious oblivious]], [[KindheartedSimpleton naive, goofy but friendly simpleton]] who can be prone to {{slapstick}} like Tom and other cats.

* CatsAreMean: Wilson as an orange-furred kitten who resembles Puff is an AxeCrazy variant of this trope, but his old, grey-furred self that looks a bit like an elderly Tom averts this trope. And also Butch, on occasion, as well, though he often vacillates between being Tom's FriendlyRival, shifty con-artist, and out-and-out JerkAss.

* TheChewToy: The titular Tom Cat as always.

* {{Expy}}:
** Tom's main love interest in this show, Toodles, looks and acts like Toots, Tom's first love interest in the original shorts that were in the shorts "Puss 'N' Toots" and "The Mouse Comes To Dinner". Despite this her name in this show is "Toodles Galore", which is the name of Tom’s other love interest in the original shorts. However she could be considered a {{Composite Character}} seeing as she is not only named Toodles but allows for Tom and Butch to fight over her in many episodes like original Toodles as well.
** Tom and Spike's owners in this show, Rick and Ginger, are very similar to Tom and Spike's owners in the late 50's Tom and Jerry shorts, George and Joan. They act the same, with the husband not liking Tom and favoring Spike, while the wife favors Tom and doesn't like Spike as much. There a few differences though: for example, Rick has shown himself to be a BigEater, and Ginger (particularly in season 1) treats Tom in a motherly fashion.
* {{Femme Fatale}}: In a detective episode called “Feline Fatale”, Toodles plays this trope straight.

* AdaptationalWimp: Butch the cat in the original shorts (as well as most other adaptations he's in) frequently shows up Tom in many of their fights and competitions and is more often than not the victor. In this show, he hardly manages to compete with Tom and is constantly beaten up by him, Jerry and Spike. He now has to rely more on underhanded tactics to best Tom simular to Tom's ordeals with Spike in the original shorts. He does seem to get better luck in later seasons however.
** Spike to an extent. He's shown to be more cowardly than before as seen in episodes such as "Breaking and entering. Additionally, he sometimes ends up losing to Tom or ending up as the butt of the joke by the end of some episodes, although these are rare occasions.

** In season 1 Spike didn’t have an ego towards himself and episodes like “Spike gets Skooled” and the 4 part vacation arc had Spike just trying to relax or act like the voice of reason, only to be screwed over by Tom. In the other seasons Spike because more of a bully at times, had an ego, and there aren’t really episodes where Tom screws over Spike anymore, except for rare occasions like “Game of Bones” (Even then Tom lost in the end).

** Butch also counts as most of his appearances in the show has him suffering in some compacity or has him getting the short end of the stick.

* ButtMonkey: A lot of the series' slapstick happens at Tom's expense, even when he's not being antagonistic. Butch also counts as most of his appearances in the show has him suffering in some compacity or has him getting the short end of the stick.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Spike in the original shorts mostly only attacked Tom when either Tom provoked it, he was hurting Jerry, Spike was a guard dog guarding a place, or Spike thought Tom did something but it was actually Jerry but he didn't know that. In this show, he acts more like a mean, aggressive bully towards Tom and attacks him all the time even if Tom didn't do anything, like in "Tic Tac Do'h". He is also shown to have more of an ego towards himself and dogs, like in "Picture Perfect", "Anger Mismanagement", and in the aforementioned "Tic Tac Do'h". He is not always like this though and can still be likeable (like in "Spike Gets Skooled").
