If you are enduring an actual mice plague, chances are even the most ferocious of hunters won't be able to keep up with them. A cat is only effective up to a certain point. Trust me, I have lived through a plague and as indefatigable a hunter as my cat was, all she got was fat. There were still hundreds and hundreds of the bastard things. If the infestation is originating outside your house then you may just have to live with it and use conventional trapping/poisoning, In my situation, we put off poisoning for as long as we could for fear we might poison our dogs and cats, and wild snakes and predatory birds in the process but ultimately the only thing that stopped them was the entire block laying out masses of bait. If the infestation has settled in your house and is refusing to settle down I'd stongly suggest that you either lay bait and abid the smell (yes, it is dreadful) or call in an exterminator and pay as much as you have to. Wild mice can be vectors of some very nasty diseases, not to mention they piss and shit on everything and ruin.
In the meantime I'd strongly suggest that you seal all food in heavy duty airtight plastic boxes, and consider doing the same for your linen.
