We have a mouse in our house eating our stuff. My cat is too lazy to catch it for me lol. I don't want to use poison or the spring traps... any suggestions on what works best?

I hate to say this, but the spring traps are what work. (see: http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=311)
Merendis' Family Story- We had mouse problems for years. Epic mouse problems. Mice-running-across-your-head-while-you're-sleeping problems. For a few years we used glue traps which my father would take a few miles away and empty. He even got bitten once or twice. We were good people. But it just didn't work. Sure we caught some, but we were also scared out of our minds when horrific half-mouse half-glue-trap creatures darted across the floor and disappeared. One day, even my dear, sweet, caring, vegetarian mother decided "screw it" and we bought a bunch of the good 'ol spring type. All through the night were the snaps of success.
It will be a long winter. If you really want it gone... the spring trap is the way to go.
(btw, good call on the no poison. they crawl into the walls and die, which may be worse than some food theft)

Spring traps kill them instantly.

I've used the humane traps a couple times and they worked. They are a little more expensive than the ones that kill. I just put a cracker with some peanut butter inside, and when the mouse was caught, I took it out to the woods and set it free.
