I remember reading a story about this topic, and I think it was something about the smell of the cat's urine that triggered a fear reaction in the mice. As to the observation about the path to learning in the mice, how exactly would a mouse learn from experience that cats gobble them up. More to the point, how can the mouse communicate that learning to other mice?
