The word "mouse" has no meaning in scientific classification, but species of many families of small rat-like rodents are commonly referred to as mice. Most mouse species, such as the common house mouse, belong to the family Muridae. The other major mouse families are Cricetidae (grasshopper mice, harvest mice), Heteromyidae (pocket mice), and Zapodidae (jumping mice and birch mice).
