A better mouse trap?

Last weekend at my in-laws for Easter I was sleeping in the basement. One night as I was about to go to bed I heard this ruckus going on the floor upstairs - so I go up and three of their four cats are all around the TV cabinet. So I shine my phone light underneath it and there's a mouse all freaked out.

What dumb-arse mouse goes in a house with four cats?
I stopped at "sleeping in the basement". NOBODY puts me in the basement.
