I think it should be meese. I call them meese. Then people throw things at me. :-)
Kidding. I'm a big English nerd. I don't have much of an answer, except for that English is a mating of many different languages. Goose and moose probably come from different parts of the world, as do their plurals.

Because different words have different plural forms. Example: deer and deer vs. snake and snakes; sheep and sheep vs. kangaroo and kangaroos. So, as you can see, different words change differently to become plural.
Oh, and by the way, meese is not a word. The plural of mouse is mice.

Because Meese are tiny little rodents that live in the walls of your house and eat cheese.

Good question. Reminds me of the guy agonizing over how to order two 'tailor's gooses (?) , geese(?)" by mail.
He finally wrote, "Dear Sirs: Please send me a tailor's goose.". Then, "P.S., Please send another one."
