Well, it depends.
If your cat is catching mice (not eating them) it is unlikey there will be any risks. Apart from if the mouse if carrying fleas or something which are carrying a disease which can jump onto your cat and thus infect them. Although, this is not likely.
If your cat EATS the mouse, there is more of a risk, but not anything to worry about. (It is normal for cats to EAT their prey). The above applies, although if the mouse carries internal diseases and the cat eats it, the cat MAY catch them, but unlikey again.
All round, I'd say theres just a 2% health risk! VERY LOW!!!
(my cat often catched mice and I have known many who have EATEN them, and nought happened)

Do cats eat chinchillas?
no but they eat nachos and oatmeal, whatever you think is wrongSorry, but cats do not eat nachos and oatmeal, don't know what you were thinking. But no cats normally wont eat a chinchilla. If you have a room that you have your chinchilla cage in that you can lock when you arent home that's fine. But when you are in there you can let the cats in. If they are cofertable you are fine, but if the chinchilla is scared of the cats it might attack!!!
