There probably isn't any mouse-flavored food for cats because mice and cats are competitors in the wild. Since domesticated cats may be more accustomed to humans as providers, they might be less likely to hunt and therefore might lack an instinctive fear of prey. Therefore, a cat may find a flavor like 'mouse' appealing, potentially negating its evolutionary value as a predator or scavenger; making it less likely to be eaten by other species such as birds or raptors if a large animal is killed. Therefore, it is thought that most pet owners would not offer their animals a food items made from animals similar to those they usually eat or try catch; even if tasty flavors such as "mouse" are used.

There is no evidence that cats actually find the flavor of mice attractive, so it wouldn't make sense for cat food manufacturers to create a product that wasn't appreciated by the target market. Furthermore, due to the potential risk of contamination with disease organisms, it might not be safe to feed actual mice or any other wild animal to cats.
