Question

Culture involves the transmission of information and behaviors through social learning, not just within a single group but potentially across different groups as well. In this example, the behavior (a way to hold a mouse) is learned socially (from Cat A to Cat B) and then spreads to other cats, fitting the criteria for cultural transmission.
