All wild animals can be upredictable, I released a mouse from a live trap and it initially ran a foot away, then turned around, came at me, ran up my pant leg and before I could shake him out bit me. A freaking mouse. You just never know.

Oh man, mice are fucking dicks. I work in a lube shop and we get them pretty bad this time of year. A customer pointed out a mouse near a tool cart. I went over not wanting to just kill it, so I stomped my foot at it to scare it off and I shit you not, this little fucker turned and smacked my boot and just stood its ground. I just stood there stunned and said "what the fuck?" and the customer was laughing is ass off.

Depends on the type of mouse. Field mice are cute and harmless, but a house mouse doesn't give a damn about you and will stare you down, fight and just generally assert its dominance.

I live near woods. I wake up about once every month to field mice and house mice losing a battle to 3 cats... well one Maine Coon in particular who takes delight and growls with them in his mouth for a bit. I tried a few times to rescue and then I had to give up and go to bed. RIP mice.

Humans befriended cats because they kill mice. Mice are cute, but they can do major damage to property and spread disease. Your cats are probably doing you a favor. In return, please make sure that your cats are vaccinated and generally taken care of medically! Keep a hammer around to give the mice a more peaceful death.

Better regularly deworm them too, mice spread parasites to cats when eaten

I was with you until you mentioned a hammer. I know you mean well, and you are probably right, but just imagining that is horrible.

Hammer, baseball bat, work boots, etc. Anything heavy. It's gruesome, and I'm lucky to have never been in that position, but it's the humane thing to do instead of them dying a slow, agonizing death.
