Since you didn't get the quote I shall explain its origin, it is from the cena trimalchionis within the work the satyricon by petronius. the character who utters it is a violently drunk freedman who is in the middle of insulting a small boy and then says "he's like a mouse in a pisspot, he doesn't know where to go", apparently pissing on mice in pisspots was a past time of the lower classes of Romans

yes, they did it because they were fond of the mice
Pliny The Younger- 03-30-2007
they were fond of fried door mice, and horace has a satire about a town mouse and a country mouse

Pliny The Younger- 04-12-2007
I doubt there are any.
