Jews are oppressed by having their rights taken away. Their businesses are taken away. They are sent to death camps by the millions.

Spiegelman's use of mice to portray the Jews is a play off the Nazis considering them vermin. Spiegelman isn’t making fun of anyone here, he is attempting to use ethnic stereotypes to break down the allegory that some people feel or felt was true. He was using these stereotypes as a platform to show people how Jews were oppressed. Not he uses cats to portray the Nazis.
