Does 'a house cat and mouse' from Wikipedia missing a 'a'?
The series features comedic fights between an iconic set of enemies, a house cat and mouse.
This a sentence from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_jerry.
My question is: Is the first sentence wrong? Should it be 'a house cat and a mouse' or 'a house cat and mice', and why?
Thank you.
