None.
Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Mouse using New Unit's Default vitals
Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to Mice
I don't know if "Replace" fills the "Last created unit" function, thus possibly leaving the Mice unit group empty.
Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player (Owner of (Triggering unit)) matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions)
Actions
Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
Event is "Unit dies", in what way is it useful at all to remove the unit if it's dead? And anyways, the unit isn't Picked because your filter excludes Dead.
(Number of players in Cat Team) < 1
Not sure, but this might be your error.
Also, I don't see any trigger removing the Cats from their unit group.
None.

That may be it I'll try something else

Yes the unit is picked because this is killing all the units owned by the player who's mouse just died. But also this doesn't work either so I'm not sure what I did wrong there.
(Number of players in Cat Team) < 1

Also, I don't see any trigger removing the Cats from their unit group.
I'll disable it and see if it works. [EDIT] Nope didn't fix it.
there isn't a trigger that removes cats from their unit group yet, haven't added it.
