To hunt, or not to hunt, THAT is the question

A domestic cat, a natural born hunter, that is in the mood for hunting mice, sees a mouse that is undamaged. But, the cat does not hunt the mouse. Why not?!
I’d like to dedicate this riddle to my cat, Gricko

THIS is the expected answer!
However, there is another answer which, in my opinion, is even better. Alright! So, just keep trying to solve the riddle that is already solved. I am not kidding. We are in business of solving riddles. That is a responsibility we must take very very seriously.
A hint: There isn't any. Actually, the mouse is quite real, not optical/laser/whatnot. See?! See?!

Not good enough. Nothing is between the cat and the mouse.

If there is nothing between the cat and the mouse, then the mouse is under the cat's paw or in its mouth. There is no hunting in that situation.

Unless the cat is in the vacuum of space, of course!

Let me tell you something, Mr. Dudiobugtron; even though I am not an American. Smart - we riddlers like. Smart a****, we don't. Solve the riddle and stop playin'. I am one serious alien-riddler, 'which nobody can deny.'

It sees another mouse as well and decides to hunt that one instead.

This will come as a total surprise to you but, your answer happens to be the right one.
Here's to Gricko! the cutest, naughty, beautiful cat.
Once he caught a pigeon. But, he wasn't hungry so, he don't kill it and eat it. He ate a lizard though. The poor little green one was alive while he was eating it.
