You shouldn't ever buy an animal as a means to an end. Do you WANT a cat? Are you willing and able to properly care for it (vet visits, quality food, toys, your time and attention)? If not, go with mouse traps or something. You won't have to care for the mouse traps for another 15-20 years.

CATS DO GET RID OF MICE, BUT MOST CATS WILL BRING YOU THE MOUSE THEY HAVE CAUGHT AS A GESTURE OR A GIFT, AND THAT CAN GET GROSS. BETTER TRY STICKY TRAPS. THEY WORK GREAT AND YOU CAN GET THEM AT THE $ .99 STORE.

It works

female cats are better

My MommyCat is a real killer!

Even if a cat doesn't kill the mice the presence of a cat might help them seek another "home".

This has to be the poorest possible reason to get a cat unless you live on a farm. A shelter I know of in Ohio adopts out spayed and neutered feral cats to farms where there is a need to keep rodents under control.

Nah ! Just put a dab of peanut butter on some glue traps and set them out.

Invest $5 in some traps. They are efficient and you don't have bills for vet - food - litter or house odor.

our flat was once overrun by mice. all because i didn't want to use chemical poisons, scared that my dog would ingest it and get poisoned. the mice traps didn't work. in the end, i had mice jumping in front of me in the kitchen while i was cooking and were running around the house at night. in the end, i did take rat poison. after a few days, less than a week, they were gone. touch wood, we've not had them again. i was told, for a dog of 12 kgs to die from rat poison, the dog would need to eat at least the equivalent of his body weight in poison. but my dog never really got to the poison because i made sure the poison was scattered in places where he can't get into. before you get the mice dancing in your living room, reach for rat poison now.
