You, uh, sure that’s not a skunk?

(Skunks are omnivores and will eat whatever they can take, including mice and voles.)

For comparison:

The tail and the high contrast stripe at the base is making me wonder.

could be. only saw it for a second. white strip matches. never saw one catching mice in a garbage can. wasn't about to try and catch it.

wasn’t about to try and catch it.

Lol, yeah that's understandable. Best case scenario: feral cat. Worst case scenario: sprayed by skunk!
