I have a good friend who lived in an old farm house when he was a kid. His bedroom was in the attic and the house had mice. The mice would run across the bed over his blankets side to side and he wouldn't even wake up, but if one started up the bed from his feet toward his head, he would wake up enough to flick the covers and send the mouse flying, then back to sleep.
I've always had a cat, and the cat always slept on the bed with me.
The only mice I've ever seen in my house were dead mice. And they were getting in my house for years, from a couple different places, until I figured it out. My cat actually showed me one of the spots. They were coming in under the door. A new door sweep fixed that.
I did have a cat that made friends with a rat in my house, which freaked me out. One day I came home and they were buddy-buddy in the living room. I had to catch it myself. She still killed mice, though.

That's scorpions here. The new brush under the door has helped.
I wasn't privy to her methods.
Cats are not playing with their prey. They're trying to stun it. Mice fight back.
I've seen a cat flip a mouse 3 feet in the air and immediately pounce on it. It looks like play, but it's serious business. A cat's pounce is actually more like a punch. Owls do the same thing when they swoop down on their prey. The blow stuns them.
My cat was rather unsocialized when I got her. When playing she gave me a few of those gut punches while I was trying to nap. It was enough to knock the wind out of me. I don't know if she has the killer instinct yet, but I think she does. She's really strong, she has legs like pogo sticks, she's fast and agile, and she's aggressive.
Our dog used to stun her toys whilst playing with them, she'd jump up in the air, then punch down with her front paws, cute, but really she was practicing killing. She used to think it was fun to do it to me, and believe me, a small Boarder Collie can wind an adult very effectively. I once woke up, to find her in mid-air with paws out stretched, that woke me up. She's much older now, she plods up the stairs.
Did you present it to the cat as a gift? As cats like to do when they catch mice.
I walked up the tracks and let it go. I didn't kill it.
My cat piles all her toys at my feet when she's done playing. I have recieved gifts of live and dead mice and birds many times in my life.
