What is Copy Cat?

I have written an implementation of John Conway's Game of Life, a variant on Stuart Kauffman's Kauffman Model and a self-designed simulation called Bugs in which simple nonlearning creatures follow genetically determined rules in an attempt to find food, the most genetically adapted surviving and reproducing the most. In Copy Cat I decided to tackle a slightly more difficult and more specific problem than in Bugs. Bugs just optimizes search strategies such as how long to wander in a straight line without finding food before trying a different direction and what energy levels at which to reproduce. Copy Cat is a an attempt to evolve mimicry, a phenomenon known to exist in nature which is often used as evidence of evolution and natural selection.
