Mice

Mice are small furry creatures that eat cheese and make tiny little poops. They are kind of like rats, except cuter. Mice have not exactly made a sizeable impact in film and television entertainment, and most often they are seen as defenseless laboratory experiments, forced to run endlessly on a torture wheel until some mad scientist decides to dissect them. In classic fare, mice have had a disarming effect on people, often women. It was not uncommon for a person to spy a mouse and leap onto a chair screaming, as if the little bugger could actually do anything to them.

Mice have been known to turn up in a lot of animated programming, usually in the comedy genre. One particular mouse of note is the aptly named Jerry Mouse - who was always devising some creative means of evading the ever-hungry Tom Cat. A more modern pastiche of Jerry Mouse is Itchy from the fictional Itchy & Scratchy show, which was featured on select episodes of The Simpsons.

Being Human (US)
On the North American version of the supernatural drama series Being Human, the former-ghost-turned-reanimate Sally Malik discovered that being resurrected from the dead came with a cost. She began suffering a ravenous hunger and when regular food stuffs could no longer satisfy her, she began trapping live prey. In one instance, she trapped a mouse inside of her brownstone and ate it whole.

V
The alien Visitors featured on the TV series V were carnivores who devoured live prey. A recurring fan-favorite gaff on the series was watching one of the aliens pick up a living animal, usually a mouse, and drop it into their mouth. The effect was accented by showing the character's throat bulging as the critter slowly slid down their gullet.
