If you have a good hunting female cat (and the females make the best hunters usually), it would definitely get the mouse.

Thats the funny thing some cats (mostly farm raised cats or cats that are let outside often) are excellent at catching mice,
while other like my cat who we found on the side of the road as a kitten and made him into a house cat are not. he was outside one time and went undermy car to chase a mouse he was fine untill the mouse turned around and chased him back! he ran back to the house with a puffy tail and very scared. some cats also just don't want to chase mice so they simply wont. it all depends

If the house is yours and the cat is yours, does the cat not live in your house? I am not 100% sure of your problem.
If you have a mouse in your house, your cat will rid you of it. She will either trap it and kill it or the mouse will simply move out. Cats are the most eco-friendly mouse exterminator in the world, non-toxic and lovely. And they are a deterrent. Mice just don't hang around a place where they smell a cat; they keep on moving.

Just depends on the type of cat you have. Personalities differ in cats just like in humans. Some cats couldn't care less about mice and others wouldn't hesitate to tear one apart.
I'm fairly certain Madeline would have her way with a live mouse...
You'll never know unless you try.

Bring your cat in and find out. It doesn't always work. Some cats and mice get along. Some cats just ignore the mouse.

depends on the cat, but most like to chase things. you may have some items get broken if the cat is going nuts trying to get it LOL but as long as you remove items from the area you should be fine. you can also get glue traps or regular mouse traps, and can always use some sort of poison, but if you choose that option, make sure other animals are NOT around to eat it.

We have two cats. Mice get into the garage and the cats play with them, then bring them to us. Most cats will kill mice. Thats in their nature.
If you don't want the mice dead try a humane trap where you can catch them and let them go elsewhere. They are available online or you can make your own.

walk around the fringe of your place. learn the commencing place intently. seem for any areas the place the timber is supplied in touch with the cement basement partitions or the commencing place. Caulk (or use sparkling silicone in a tube) all dryer vents, outdoors electric merchants, spigots, cable connections, telephone wires, and so on. Mice can get via an quite small area, like one million/4". warning: in case you have various mice, you are able to result with a snake concern. they're the main effective source of nutrition for uncomplicated backyard snakes.
