1. live trap baited with peanut butter
Any hardware store should have them. Once trapped take it FAR away from your house, when I catch one I take it to work and let it go in the woods next to the office. Lets see the little bugger find its way back from there.

2. Get a ...
quarter (to act as a dinner plate), and some really really small forks and spoons. Make a nice little place setting on your kitchen floor for the mouse, complete with a little thimble-full of wine. Invite the mouse to have dinner, and after he passes out from drinking the wine, gently pick him up and place him outside. Hope this helps.

5. Give the cat another night to get it
When I lived in a house with mice, my cat killed them quite efficiently for a little, tiny, 5 lb critter. She got one once as a kitten that she couldn't kill-I had to finish the job. I picked in up in a plastic bad (so I didn't have to touch it) and hit it with a broomstick, to put it out of its misery.
