Neither; he is a mouse. hence the name mickey mouse.
Actually, yes. Walt got the idea from his pet mouse, Mortimer. That was the name he was originally going to give him, until his wife suggested Mickey instead.
The reason Mickey Mouse is a mouse is because after the loss of Oswald The Rabbit the image of a mouse appeared in the back of his head. A mouse was sort of sympathetic character in spite of the fact that everyone is afraid of a mouse.
Mickey Mouse was originally drawn to replace the character of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. A mouse was chosen because it could be easily adapted from the earlier character and still have many of the same characteristics. Legend has it that Walt Disney was also inspired to draw the mouse because of a childhood pet.
Walt Disney came up with Mickey Mouse after losing the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Charles Mintz. He took a train back to California, where he and Ub Iwerks came up with a mouse character inspired by Walt's pet mouse. Walt originally decided to name him "Mortimer", but his wife, Lillian, suggested "Mickey". There, Mickey Mouse was born.

dude it is a cartoon that is what they do : why can spongebob talk? No. I, Sheekgirl519, say that goofy is a REAL character but Pluto isn't. Why does Mickey talk? Why does Daisy talk? these are all characters that are SUPOSSED to talk. Pluto is simply a PET, not an actual character. Same with Minnie's pet cat. (her name escapes me) she dosent talk. not supposed to.
