There was a short-lived version of Minecraft in which cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens spawned in light and on grass. This had some awkward consequences at night, especially if you had only one house, and there was grass in it, you'd end up with a housefull of mobs.
Part of that experience was fun, and part of it was annoying. It wasn't very realistic, nor did it necessarily add to the fun of the game. So Mojang rightly changed the mechanic, and we got persistent animals, and all was well with the Minecraft.
But the thing remains that there was a bit of fun having mobs infest your house. So I was thinking Mojang should bring back that mechanic, but maybe to a limited extent. Maybe make a special mob, like a mouse, or a rat, that spawns: A) during the night only in high light levels, and C) on grass or dirt.

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.
I wish animals would just spawn in lit grass again. They spawn so rarely now that they always go pretty much extinct quickly. Farming can work if you constantly breed them, but if you leave them unattended for a few weeks, they all disappear or somehow escape or die.

well I don't think it has to have a use, but if we decide that it does...
It could be a nuisance mob that eats grain, or certain blocks, maybe wood blocks. The cat could chase it and kill it.
It could drop itself, a dead mouse, which could be cooked and eaten, or fed to a cat.
