Bugs like this are a legitimate concern in the age of internet connected coffee pots.

There is a solution. Tell a person the answer to their question while also calling into question if they actually need what they are asking for. This cat wants to start hunting Mice. So that could go something like, “It’s great that you’re getting into hunting. Mice are an excellent place to start if you’re a house cat. Have you tried waiting outside of their hole? When I hunt elk, I creep up slowly on them when they are unaware. Mice are quite small game, but this might work for them too. Have you considered hunting elk?”
