mouse hunter
Rodent-catching animal
A mouse hunter is an animal, typically a cat, that catches mice.
The term emphasizes function over species—barn cats are prized as mouse hunters, but terriers, owls, and snakes also earn the title.
We got the cat as a mouse hunter, but she's more interested in napping.
