***On top of that, a lot of your labor laws didn't really happen until many years afterwards, with child labor being banned in 1938 and OSHA being in the 1970s ([=IDR=] which year), so even if Fievel did go to the authorities about the sweatshop, it's not like they could legally do anything.

** It's safe to assume that Orphan Alley isn't too far, as his family would likely be searching the immediate area after searching the extinguished pier. It might have even been likely in their minds that he had died in the fire. He hit his head, and when he awoke he could only stumble around until the firefighters hit him with a water jet. I believe the shack that they made the Mouse of Minsk inside was close to the shore, and Fievel was taken by the water stream into a hole in the floor. He either ended up in a drainage stream, or was quickly washed ashore (again) by the waves, either of which lead him to Orphan Valley, which has a small flow going right through it. Either he climbed out of the stream himself or was unconscious and, despite the other Orphans' ill natured way of acting, out of the many orphans there, there was likely at least one who took pity on him and pulled him out.

** [[https://a-z-animals.com/blog/the-10-largest-rats-in-the-world/ Here's]] a list of the largest rat species found around the world, and [[https://www.thesprucepets.com/small-cat-breeds-4846258 here's]] a list of the smallest cat breeds. There's actually a bit of crossover between the largest rats and the smallest cats. Sounds crazy, but RealityIsUnrealistic and all that.

** Given the time frame of the film (the year 1885), there is no 'proper authorities.' The New York Police Department of the time was heavily influenced by Tammany Hall corruption, and were more of a city-operated gang than a law enforcement agency (receiving pay-offs to ignore criminal ventures, and being used to support illicit voting practices). It wouldn't be until the 1894 Lexow Commission that any sort of attempt would be made to rein in the NYPD. It is very likely (given the film's themes), that the mouse version of the police is just as corrupt, was paid off by Moe to look the other way, and would more likely than not help him in rounding up his escaped 'employees,' rather than risk the loss of revenue with no more bribes.

** Cats have been among the most common and widely-distributed pets in the human world since basically their domestication. From the deserts of Arabia, to the streets of New York, to yes, even the frozen steppes of Russia, anywhere you can find a sizeable group of human beings you are almost guaranteed to find at least one cat. In addition to the points made above, the Cossacks were no more immune to the charms of cats than any other group.
