The mouse isn't going to try to run back into the wild with a cat chasing it. It will cimb up (or in) the house and hide. And Voila: A new home. I have seen this happen many times.
I had a cat who was well fed, and was a great hunter. After he discovered that the critters he caught were made of delicious (to him) food, he started eating his catch. He would leave me evidence of his hunt though.
