Thomas O'Malley

Abraham deLacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley is a friendly alley cat who finds Duchess and her kids stranded in the woods and befriends them, becoming a father figure to the children. He is the deuteragonist in Disney's 1970 feature film The Aristocats. He was voiced by Phil Harris in the original film, and by Steve Curtis Chapman in House of Mouse.

Personality
Thomas O'Malley comes off as a smooth-talking, streetwise cat who relishes his life of freedom out in the open with no rules and no responsibilities. All of this changes when he meets Duchess for the first time. At first, he becomes attracted to Duchess -- flirting with and serenading her, until he is slightly taken aback by realizing that she has kittens. However, when faced with an adversity, O'Malley will indeed rise to the occasion to protect the ones he cares for and loves.

Role in Film
In the film, O'Malley appears after Edgar kidnaps and gets rid of the cats. He is instantly attracted to Duchess because of her appearance, but is put off when he learns she has children. However, he soon realizes that he is being somewhat obnoxious and helps her and her children get back to Paris safely. During their return to Paris, he becomes attracted to Duchess once again, becoming fond of her children as well as her. In the big battle scene, he and the alley cats battle Edgar as he tries to send Duchess and the kittens to Timbuktu. He saves the kids and becomes a part of the family.

House of Mouse
Thomas O'Malley, along with his friends, made several appearances on Disney's 2001-2003 television series House of Mouse. As a running gag, he and Scat Cat's group were often booked to sing at the club, but an incident of some sort would always result in them being fired (such as Donald booking the Big Bad Wolf to sing instead) or forced to leave (such as being chased by Pluto).
