The dire threat to the Aeslin Mice is the Covenant of St. George.
But you knew that.  I don't know how the Healy/Price clan go
about protecting their Mice (who are, note, a seriously
endangered species) from cats.  Perhaps they get their cats in as
kittens and teach them that the Mice are their friends?  I have
seen pictures of cats cuddling up to gerbils, guinea pigs, and
parakeets.  Not to mention innumerable dogs and cats cuddling up
to each other.  It's all in how one is brought up.

ObCats-and-Mice: Breaking Cat News, in which the cats outnumber
the People, and which features five Robber Mice who eventually
reform.  

The artist rebooted the series from start a year or so ago, and has
been re-using some material.  The Robber Mice have not shown up
yet.  Here's the current strip, from which you can go back to the
beginning if you like:
