I was just wondering and I have searched the net a little and found nothing yet. but my cat ate a mouse yesterday, she is an outside cat, so can she get the hantavirus from eating a mouse? and if so can she spread it to my other cats by just being near them?

The hantavirus is only in certain states. If you don't live in Missouri or the American southwest, the chances are about 0 that your cat will have been exposed to that.
The thing mice DO carry is parasites, so I'd be more concerned about your cat geting round worms, tapeworm, or hook worms.

cats are immune to the virus.. ask your vet for advice if you are still worried. good luck!
