mouser
Rodent-hunting feline
A mouser is a cat kept for catching mice, or any cat skilled at hunting rodents: The barn cat was an excellent mouser.
The term emphasizes function over affection—a mouser earns its keep.
By extension, mouser occasionally describes other animals or even people who hunt or pursue with cat-like persistence.
