We're hoping to get a cat (or kitten). Largely because we really want a cat but we are also hoping it will help rid us of the mice that keep sauntering around our house at all times of the day or night.
I'd been led to believe that the smell of a cat alone would make the mice pack their bags but then discovered via an old mumsnet thread that this is not the case. Apparently I could end up with a cat whose interest would not be piqued if mice were tapdancing in its basket.
Is there any way to tell whether a kitten/cat is likely to be a mouser or lazy useless lump not?

Are some breeds of cat better mousers than others?
