Does the scent of a cat scare away mice?

and if so, could you point me to the resource, and not just say ';yes';Does the scent of a cat scare away mice?
Usually not. I'm a (many) cat owner and have read many books about cats. The reason cats are so fastidious about cleaning themselves is to minimize their scent...enabling them to more stealthily sneak up on their prey. Mice do not have a sense of smell as acute as a cat.
