Tom

"I Am a gray cat. I Live a Fun and colorful life.... and yet this video is in black and white for some reason?! I am a cat on top of the world. And yet there are minor annoyances to my existence. Like when I am given semi-skimmed milk……when I ask for full. My thumbs are not opposable……oh, wait……I have friends……but they are too gassy… if only he’d eat something other than baked beans. My job is to mimic…it’s a pretty cool job actually, great perks, you know……if my tail wags, it is a reflex action. Or … maybe my batteries are just running low……I am haunted…but…not literally. that would be spooky. I am a grey cat……I am Tom."

Appearance
Tom is a gray Tabby cat that is often portrayed as egotistical yet caring towards his friends. He designs mobile app with Ben and hopes to earn money off of them. His apps tend to be a failure, except for the Talking Tom and Talking Ben apps in the show.

Personality
Tom is a very ambitious and adventurous person, suggesting ideas that people would see as crazy or good at first which slowly spirals to chaos. He takes chances when he sees them as an opportunity to make him either rich or famous or better yet, both. He is one of the head leaders of the group, others following him even with doubts. He is very confident and charismatic about himself, using every opportunity possible to compliment himself but he also takes note of the capabilities and talents of others and can praise them or at times be envious of them.

Although he can be reckless, he is kind towards his friends (especially of course, his girlfriend Angela even if her craziness can annoy him along with the others). and is willing to lend a helping hand. Sometimes giving advice to them when they ask of it. Sometimes Tom doesn’t want to show any hints of him  and Angela’s romance and is too embarrassed if he did because he would think of what the people would say to him for being with someone so innocent and sweet yet mentally challenged and can destroy anything in her path when in attack mode). even though he loves Angela (probably almost about the only one who dose), Some Of the others (especially Ben) highly suggests he should dump her. But he always denies and moves on to some other subject. He always sees himself as a superstar, kinda like Alex who has a similar personality to Tom.

Biography
"I'm what people call a visionary. Some days I wake up and think, 'Let's see, today I'm gonna design a hot air balloon that can land on a passing asteroid.' Except a hot air balloon can't fly in space... That's a minor detail. Comments like that prove that you're just not a visionary. And you're not a scientist."
