I found a dead mouse that I think the cats killed by playing with it. It was just laying in my kitchen. I got a dustpan scooped it up and went to get my shoes. My one cat ate it the whole thing. Should I worry about worms or anything like that. He goes in for his well check up next month should I have them worm him. Other than that I'm not really worried about it he had a great breakfast!!

Ok!  Assuming you don't have mouse poison out that the mouse could have eaten he should be ok.

Since it was probably a field mouse.   I would worm your cat for tapeworms in about 2-3 weeks as mice are hosts for tapeworms, and that's about how long it would take them to develop.
