If an owl were to exist in the cartoon...
Nah, it will just be Tom and Jerry working together to defeat the owl.
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. 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 other.

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 lol
Now, 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.

Oh... Thank you so much for gifting my imagination such a mesmerizing scene! Now I must draw this kind of scene some time.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
