those look like little worms, maybe fly larvea?
but the grey would have been the fur from the meeces!

Those meeces are tricky. I was working on my propane boiler and found two well-toasted meeces in the exhaust flue.
I have no idea how they got there, or how long ago. I would swear it isn't possible for them to get into that flue.
I think they are long gone. The problem was very apparent at one time and someone fixed it but did not go to the extent of ripping out walls.
One thing about rodents: If they thrived there once they will be back. I suggest you take steps to limit their numbers. You need to encourage those that prey on mice to stick around.
Here we have lots of snakes. I encourage and even import the nonvenomous varieties. Not sure what you may have there. You may need keep traps baited or a rodenticide about to keep the numbers down. This has some problems associated with it. Since you have a cat and perhaps some other pets, chemical solutions are potentially problematic.
Whatever the previous owners did will not last forever. Hopefully they sealed the entrances so you won't have to worry about that.
