The Cupboard Mouse is a mouse wearing a pink bow tie and green jacket. Throughout the story, the Mouse is pursued by Miss Moppet.

A little kitten named Miss Moppet spots a mouse behind the cupboard. The mouse, unafraid of a kitten, peeps out and teases Miss Moppet. Miss Moppet jumps at the mouse and hits her head on the cupboard.

As the mouse watches from the top of the cupboard, Miss Moppet ties her head in a duster and sits in front of the fireplace. She looks so ill that the mouse decides to come down to check on her. Miss Moppet peeks through a hole in the duster and sees the mouse coming very close. She jumps suddenly and catches the mouse by his tail.

Miss Moppet decides to tease the mouse. She ties him up in the duster and tosses it like a ball. When she unties it afterward, however, she finds no mouse inside – he had escaped through the hole in the duster. The mouse is now dancing a jig on top of the cupboard.
