What a waste. The difference between city mouse and country mouse has long been known and documented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oue_a_mB5yA

We better stop doing science on mice now that we know everything there is

All I know about a country mouse and a city mouse is that they were really good friends.

My cat would disagree. No mouse in the house, but he's managed to kill and present 3 of them to me before being locked up forever inside. Never seen him cockier and prouder than those days.
