Tomcat \Tom"cat`\, n. [Tom (see Tomboy) + cat.] A male cat, especially when full grown or of large size.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1809, from Tom + cat (n.); probably influenced by Tom the Cat in the popular children's book "The Life and Adventures of a Cat" (1760); replaced earlier Gib-cat, from diminutive of Gilbert, though Tom was applied to male kittens c.1300. The name also is used of the males of other beasts and birds since at least 1791 (such as tom-turkey, by 1846). Also see Tibert. The verb meaning "to pursue women promiscuously for sexual gratification" is recorded from 1927. Related: Tom-catting.
Wiktionary

Tomcat may refer to:
Tomcat was an Atari color vector game created in 1983. The game never made it beyond prototype stage. The game was a flight combat simulator that allowed a player to choose to fly a F14 Tomcat jet or helicopter and shoot down other aircraft and strafe ground targets for points. The game featured not only a fully realized hud but was the first 3D vector game ever to offer a link to another game for added game play. By the time the prototype was complete Atari shut down the vector games production and scrapped the existing projects.
Tomcat (also known as F14 Tomcat) is a 1989 computer game published in the UK by Players Software for a range of 8-bit home computers. The game was released on the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Commodore 16, Commodore Plus/4, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum ranges of computers. Tomcat was released as a budget title and was also featured on a Your Sinclair magazine cover tape.
Tomcat is a 2016 Austrian drama film directed by Händl Klaus. It was shown in the Panorama section at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Teddy Award as the best LGBT-related feature film of the festival.
The film stars as Andreas and Lukas Turtur as Stefan, a well-off gay couple in Vienna whose relationship is tested when Stefan, in an uncharacteristic sudden outburst of violent anger, kills their pet cat Moses. The film's original German title is a pun on the identical German words for (a male) cat and hangover.
