Close off the kitchen for the cat's sake (so maybe it won't go quite as nuts all night long) and call an exterminator the minute they open in the morning. OP, not trying to scare you, but be aware, if you hear mice they are not just in one spot; they tend to move around inside walls. If you have an attic, it's highly possible they are nesting up there, especially if your attic insulation isn't recent and isn't laced with anti-rodent stuff (borax--harmless to people but mice won't nest in insulation treated with borax). When we had a mouse infestation, we ended up having the whole attic re-insulated and many small holes plugged. Expensive but worth it.

Any good exterminator is not going to come in, mess around in one cabinet, and say they're done. They should figure out where they're nesting and/or how they're getting in and out of the house. They may not ever really leaveit. You'll need to check the whole house for rodent droppings and see if they've nibbled on boxes and bags in the pantry, etc. They move around and can fit through a hole the size of a pencil eraser. Hate to say all that but I've been there. [/quote]
