Hi
It's something like:

"When cats leave, mouses take care."

Latin translation differs a bit, Sweety:

"When cats leave, mouses have a good time/enjoy."

Can it be?

Hi girls, this is (in English) a popular idiom.

"When the cat's away, the mice will play."

It means: When no one in authority is present, the subordinates can do as they please.

But I don't know if it has a similar one in Latin

Thank you Lili for the vote! Yes, it was just what I thought. In Latin it sounds: "Mus furit et laedit cum gatus omnis abest" - The mouse goes crazy and is glad when there isn't any cat.

But, I believe we can add it to the remarks and leave the translation of alexfatt because it conveys the source too. What do you think, dear Lilly?
