In a food chain, 10% of the prey is given to the predator, while the other 90% is used/wasted as heat, organic matter, etc. If a cat eats a mouse and the mouse gives off 100% of its energy, then the cat gets 10% of the mouse's energy and the rest is waste. Now, the cat needs to eat 9 more mice to get as much energy as 1 mouse contains.
