When a cat eats a mouse, it will bite the mouse's neck or body with its mouth. Their bite force is very strong and they can quickly subdue the mouse. The cats will then enjoy their meal, swallowing the mouse whole or tearing it into small pieces and slowly eating it.

Because cats use their keen sense of smell and hearing to find mice. Cats can easily pick up the scent and movement of mice, allowing them to pinpoint the mouse's location. Once cats find a mouse, they will approach quietly and catch the mouse at extremely fast speeds. This is a deterrent from natural enemies.
