 Usually “a cat” in this proverb stands for “some authority” while “mice” for “subordinates.” That is, subordinates will take advantage of circumstances in the absence of a controlling entity.

 (Example) When the teacher left for a few minutes, the children nearly wrecked the classroom. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Jill: You shouldn’t bereading a novel at your desk. Jane: But the boss isn’t here. And when the cat’s away, the mice will play. [McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs. 2002. ]
