I have a pet cat, and lots of pet mice, too. They certainly can co-exist. Most importantly, keep your pet mice in a cage (a glass aquarium with a mesh lid is best) and try not to let them escape. If they do get out and the cat hurts them, you'll need to take them to a vet right away, even if it's only a scratch. Cat saliva is toxic to mice, and a vet will prescribe antibiotics. I've never had a problem, though--my cat recognizes that the mice are part of the family, and leaves them alone. I've even held both at the same time--the mouse in my hand or on my shoulder, the cat on my lap.
