Background information

‘When the cat’s away, the mice will play’ is a well-known worldwide proverb and dates to around 1600. Without supervision, people will do as they please, especially in disregarding or breaking the rules. As soon as the parents leave, the children will invite all their friends over, and when the boss is gone, everyone will stop working. A proverb is a short saying that gives advice or expresses truth. Proverbs aren’t usually literal sayings, but they are being used as figurative language to make a statement about life.
