Considering that the cat has an efficiency of 80%, in the first day it will catch 80% of the mice.
In the second day, a week after, it will catch (according to the program) 96% of the mice.
Remaining yet 2 mice alive.
More one time and it is about 100%.
Please see this video.
My original goal was to calculate how much percent a second dose of a vaccine (95% effective) will imunize a population,
but it is said that vaccines don't work that way.
According to my calculus a vaccine 95% effective will be 99.75% effective, considering the second dose.
But vaccine does not work this way.
Considering that a vaccine does not work this way, I converted the program to calculate the
efficiency of another things, like, for example, cats catching rats.:-)
If that starting population of mice is split evenly between males and females then some portion of them are already pregnant and will deliver an increase if they escape capture the first day. It just keeps getting more complicated.

You included new variables in the event.
Indeed, a real event is more complex than a theoretical event.
