It is the way language developed from early times. The old English word for a single animal was 'mus' and the plural 'mys. These names stemmed from Latin and Greek. Also the difference is caused by the human habit of being lazy and taking the easiest way. It was easier to say 'mice' from the old English than mouses. However 'mouses' is acceptable
