The so-called mongrel cats cope with this task with flying colors, but only occasionally. If you shelter them, they will stop hunting.

There are breeds that are considered to be natural mouse hunters. Experts have identified the following.

1. Pallas's cat

A large cat that lives in the steppes and semi-deserts of Central Asia. It can catch small rodents such as mice.
