Then you should get a cat. The problem is not a mouse- the problem is that your brakes are wearing out. They are designed to make a noise to tell you that. Skip the cat, take your car to a shop where a mechanic can replace the worn parts. They can check for mice at the same time.

Wishful thinking, as a trapped mouse is cheaper than getting a garage to sort your brakes out - probably the pads need replacing.
It is wishful thinking. It is more likely your brake pads are worn down and need replacing - an expensive garage job!
I would need a little more information about your problem. Did the check engine light come on? After it shut down did it start back up? How were you driving when this occured?
To repair brakes, you need to first decide what needs to be replaced. You may want to replace just the brake pads, or the brake lines.
If the light is red first apply the brakes then shift into neutral. If the light is green don't shift, just continue through. If the light is yellow you will have to decide for yourself depending on the situation which of the above to do.

In general, warped brake rotors will cause a vehicle to shake when the brakes are applied. If the problem is severe, it will also have some impact on the ability of the driver to control the car when braking. If a car shudders or shakes when the brakes are applied but is otherwise smooth when driven, the brakes are a most logical cause.
