Mice that spawn in larger villages with more than 10 or so villagers, or with villages that have a certain type of crop (either a new crop or an existing one like wheat). The mice will destroy (not just break, destroy) crops that are fully grown giving an incentive to people to harvest crops when they are grown. Villagers that encounter a mouse will spawn cats to defend against it automatically.
For players who cant find a cat to protect their own crops, they can find an owl in the swamp biome and tame it using a mouse they already caught (maybe with a mousetrap as a new item that can only be used once?) The owl will hoot (this will match news i've heard about ambient sounds being added in the swamp) and will hunt mice at night. you can see its large eyes at night. in the day it'll do nothing. it can be a good tame-able offensive flying mob.
