- hide the catnip;
- collect cat hair and make a cat voodoo doll; - watch Tom and Jerry cartoons for inspiration... |

They play Karaoke, singing their favourite Cat songs.

Nothing. The cat's owner's name is Schrodinger so they are never sure if he is really away or not.

The cat isn't really away - it is a sneaky ploy and deliberate misdirection by the cat in order to lull the mice into a false sense of security, tempting the mice to reveal themselves in the open, whereupon the cat will pounce and envelop.

I dunno, Geoff, but I really like the Schrodinger answer. Unless they have figured out from watching Tom and Jerry and listening to What's New Pussycat how to toy with the cat using the theory of spooky action at a distance. Or voodoo.
