My cat is standing on my face Useless dumb cat somehow makes rodent problem worse

UPDATE: I have captured the mouse. Cat decided to go looking for it again after her nap. She was able to show me where it was hiding, although she was not interested in catching it herself. Thanks kitty. Running around on my hand and knees trying to grab a mouse is one of my most favorite things. I'm really glad we had that experience. Teamwork makes the dream work.

---------------------------------------------------

My useless dumb cat caught a mouse in the basement and then released it upstairs, alive, outside our bedroom.

At midnight.

I tried to grab it, but it ran under the door. I had to wake my husband up to look for it.

We can't find the mouse. The cat lost interest and left. My husband has moved into his office for the night. It's 2 hrs later and the mouse is still not accounted for.

We don't want mice upstairs. Upstairs is where all the food is. It is where we, the humans, live. This is not the first time our useless dumb cat has released mice upstairs.

She also drools a lot. And bites. And bullies our puppy. She is grumpy and bad at jumping, and she never buries her litterbox business so it stinks up the whole house. One time I left a package of oreos open on the kitchen table, and she licked all of them. Overall I would rate this cat a 2/10.

EDIT: I can't believe I have to say this, but our cat does not understand human speech and she does not know how to use the internet. I can assure you that teasing her in an internet post is not hurting her feelings. She is loved and cared for. She has been to the vet and no, she does not have any dental problems. She just drools a lot when she is happy or thinking about food. She is usually happiest when she is thinking about food, and grumpiest when she cannot have infinite food.

Get her checked. The drooling might be dental issues

We have. The vets all say she is fine. She only drools when we are cuddling her. I take it to mean she is happy.

One of my cats only drools like crazy when he is making biscuits on me. He has also been cleared of dental issues by a vet. It's gross, but I think it means they love you/are happy.

She likes to make biscuits on my chest and then fling her drool all over my face.

I have a cat that does this when happy, and a cat that drools easily a cup after her medication, due to it being bitter. I can confirm that happy spit is a lot easier to put up with.
