My daughter has a mouse problem in her house and she was thinking about getting a cat. Since I am the cat lady, she was asking me if there were certain breeds of cats that were better at getting mice and if she should get a cat or a kitten. In my experience, I've found that some cats are great mousers and others are not. One of my outdoor cats is always looking for, catching and eating mice. Since we live in the country and there are several old barns and outbuildings on the property, she has quite the buffet. My cats that used to totally be house cats, but are now both inside and outside cats, aren't really sure what a mouse is. Some of them will catch a mouse once in awhile, but they just play with it. Does anyone have any experience with cats and mice, and do you know if there are certain breeds that are better and if it matters about the age of the cat?
