The cartoon mouse's refuge: a neat arch-shaped hole cut into a wall at the floor, sometimes with a door. If you have one of these in your house, expect your perfectly triangular cheese wedges to go missing soon. Or a mouse comes out to scare you. The holes Real Life mice gnaw through walls are of course not so perfectly shaped as these, though the sapient inhabitants of fictional Mouse Worlds might be capable of engineering them. However, the existence of neat arch-shaped holes in baseboards is Truth in Television, as these were often cut for plumbing installations (especially heating pipes) and are often wide enough that mice can and do crawl through them. |

Transformice, naturally, features at least one stock mouse hole on every map as the Level Goal. In the game's main mode, the objective is to collect and then carry a piece of Cartoon Cheese back to the mouse hole to earn points (and currency). Oddly enough, as most of these maps appear to be set outdoors, the mouse holes are built into improbable places such as the sky and occasionally even suspended in midair. | |

Pee-Wee Herman had a mouse hole in his playhouse. Except it didn't contain mice... instead, one would find a family of Claymation dinosaurs. | |

You might notice the classic arch-shaped mouse holes in the skirting boards in the background on The Simpsons. Episode How Munched is that Birdie in the Window?: In the intro, when the Simpsons entered their living room, Prof. Frink shrank them and they ran into the hole to escape the cat. An earlier gag had the family sitting down on the couch, only for the camera to zoom into a hole to show a mouse version of the family sitting on their couch. |

Undertale has several of them, complete with Cartoon Cheese in front of them, the problem being that they are impossible to get (they are respectively stuck to the table, crystallised, and kept in a computerised safe, plus a plate of cold spaghetti with an unplugged microwave somewhere in the middle). Examining the holes will result in a squeak being heard. In the Golden Ending Playable Epilogue all the cheeses are gone, presumably eaten by the mice. (The mouse with the spaghetti tries to eat it, but it's so rock-hard it gives up partway through.) | |

The Legend of Zelda: While they're not mice, the Minish in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap have several small holes that look like this. They do, indeed, lead to the Minish's Mouse World. Also, in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, some areas have little holes that constantly spawn evil mice, which try their best to stay off your camera and tackle you from where you can't see them, stealing your rupees. Sometimes they even carry bombs. Either way, it's possible to negotiate with them by throwing some bait near their hole. |

Episode 20 of Monty Python's Flying Circus has a ratcatcher looking for rat holes in a house. The first one he finds is a Mouse Hole, complete with fake mice on a string. The mice aren't the problem for the homeowners, though- the real problem is a killer sheep armed with a gun living in a much larger Sheep Hole who shoots the ratcatcher when he steps inside. | |

Early Mickey Mouse cartoons didn't show his house, but early comic strips and children's books did. It had a round, obviously mousehole-like front entrance despite Mickey's large, non-mouselike size. In 1931, Mickey's house began to be shown in the cartoons and had a normal front door there, after which the ancillary material was retconned to match. | |
