A Problem to Solve

Primary 7v math group problem-solving challenge!!
As promised! Can you solve this problem and demonstrate to your classmates how you arrived at the answer? Remember - this is voluntary (your division homework is not :))
Cat and Mice
Five mice - Mindy, Marty, Muriel, Mabel and Mike - were nibbling the cheese on the kitchen table, but Whiskers the cat chased them back into their hole. Muriel Mouse made it back third, and Mike Mouse was fourth. Mabel Mouse was after Mike, and Marty Mouse was not second. Which mouse was first, and which one was last??
