> I caught 3 mice in my kitchen this week. I use little have-a-heart traps and either let them go in the woods behind my house (if I feel like taking a little walk), or drive to the edge of my neighborhood and let them out. My friend has a cat that she has offered to loan me, but I think that her cat would beat up my dogs, and we can't have that.
Lock the cat in the kitchen overnight, and lock the dogs someplace else. Most cats don't like being in new places because they are very territorial, so it may take a few nights before the cat decides to come out of hiding and go after the mice. Other cats are devoted mousers and nothing will stop them.
