Here's a chart of mouse body-temperature fluctuations, which you'd
better take into account.

Ok, so now the question becomes how many eMice does an eCat need to
catch to produce 3.5 kW of heat ;-)
Mice require 50 kJ /day (maintenance ... but that's a start) or 2 kJ/hr

The fatcat produced 12,500 kJ
So it needs about 6000 mice to do the job.
