i thought this teaser was very good even though i guessed it easily
thanx.
This was a good teaser.
Shouldn't it be Tom that was a mouse in the answer, not Jerry
i was gonna say that trot! good teaser though!
The narrative is not as well written as it could be but, it's a good one. I do have a hunch it would fit in trick better, i don't see the logic required to solve it. All in all, keep them coming.
im new at this so thanx for the tips. next time ill pay more attention.
hey therulerofthem. it would make sense either way so if you guessed either way its right.
or angel is too young to be tried as an adult and went to juvi not jail
whatever
This is a really good lateral puzzle
I like the answer TOM is a CAT and ANGEL is a FISH....tomcat, angelfish. more logical?
I'm with Annie! The names made me think Cat and Fish or Dog and Cat (as it would be in my house!)
That was cute. It had some bumps though.

Why is Tom as a cat and Angel as a fish more "logical"? Better to stay away from those stereotypes, I say!
I did think there could have been a number of animal answers. My guess was that a fish ate another fish.

pretty good, but the names don't matter, i mean, i thot it was praying mantises, (did i spell it right?) it could have been any number of things, that is why they stayed away from the stereotypes, duh, it is a trick
very easy but fun and simple
good one! i am so slooow! lol
i was over here thinkin that angel killed w/e the mouses name was AND herself...or that angel ran away and they never found her.......
DO'H!
but it was funny, good job!

put a on my face!
thanks for the positive reinforcements.!!!
too easy. I'm sure this is a re-hash of an old teaser....
no it isnt a re-hasgh of an old teaser. and i find that very insulting. i sat up all night thinking of this.

oops! i thought they were fish
I thought it was a fish too... but I think animal teasers are a bit overused, no offense. But good job, anyway!
I'm sorry you stayed up all night , But you came up with something that I first saw almost 30 years ago. you may not have copied it but you had the same idea they did.
i didn't get this one.... ...I thought she was doing it for protection ...wow!!!!
I've seen this one before, only with a cat and a fish. Nice effort though.
Why is the mouse's name Tom?
I thought of Self Defense with the way the world is today I like the cat and mouse better!
this was a name-use-distracter kind of riddle. pretty good.
It could be multiple things. I was thinking cat and fish. I do like the idea of the teaser. I don't really care about tiny things like that. G-double o-d j-o-b Good Job, Good Job! J/k, just a little joke at my school!
i hate it when people pick out other answers it could be. why dont you just enjoy the teser instead of picking out faults with it?
I thought that theu were playing a murder mystery...
eewww...that's disgusting
I thought it was a murder - suicide. There would be no one alive to go to jail...
I thought they were BOTH fish!
You stumped me.

na i thot it wuz dumb c-
I thought they were siamise twins.
people are not "friends" to animals!
unless you are lonely or something
(the above is a joke)

Good idea for a teaser, but here too many possible answers.
there are a bunch of possibilities, one thing you should try to avoid when making trick teasers.
Tom & Jerry : Tom finally wins!
I thought they were fish because I have heard of fish killing one another.
ditto to choirgirl.
