if shye goes near them i'm gonna spank her butt hard.A question about cats and hairless mice?
Do you mean staring? If so, the reason is because the cat sees your new mouse as prey or as a toy. It's best to keep them separate because a cats bite is full of bacteria that will kill small animals, all it takes is for the teeth to break the skin. Please be cautious.A question about cats and hairless mice?
Yes you should be concerned... every one knows that cats eat mice. Cats are predators, and mice are prey. Also, make sure you keep the cage completely out of reach of your cat. I've had to put my mouse cage inside a tall opaque storage bin (unlidded) and then place it high up on top of a 6' tall shelf lamp where my cat can't jump.
Two years ago, an inquisitive young cat belonging to a relative snuck up and bit the tiniest tip of my mouse's tail off. She bled a little bit, but she lived. Two months ago, my 5 month old kitten bit the tip off another mouse's tail when it poked through the bars. I wasn't home when it happened. The kitten bit off only a tiny bit, but the mouse bled too much and died.
Please be careful, and make sure your little mouse is safe from your cat! I would also make sure she has many other diversions that are easier to access than your mouse is.
