Answer:

The right answer is: The cat himself caught the mouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intensive and reflexive pronouns are the same but they have different functions within a sentence. Myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, youselves, themselves.

In the example, the speaker wants to highlight that the cat caught the mouse without any help. By using the pronoun himself the speaker is placing emphasis on the previous subject.
