(let the cat out of the bag (тж. позднее let the cat out))проболтаться, проговориться, выдать секрет; см. тж. the cat is out of the bagHer father kissed her when she left him, with lips which she was sure had trembled...

31 see how the cat jumps
разг.(see (или watch) how (или which way) the cat jumps (тж. wait for the cat to jump))занимать выжидательную позицию, ждать, как развернутся события; ≈ держать нос по ветру; ждать, откуда ветер подуетWe others never know what you English will do. You always wait to see which way the cat jumps. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The White Monkey’, part II, ch. I) — Мы ведь никогда не знаем, что вы, англичане, будете делать. Вы всегда ждете, откуда подует ветер.
The records of the past tell us of writers who grew famous in a night, but in our more prudent day this is unheard of. The critics want to see which way the cat will jump, and the public has been sold a pup too often to take unnecessary chances. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. XIV) — Опыт прошлого показывает, что были случаи, когда писатели сразу становились знаменитыми, но в наше, более осторожное время это немыслимо. Критики занимают выжидательную позицию, а публика, которую так часто надували, не хочет рисковать без особой надобности.
The old brute's sitting on the fence watching which way the cat will jump. (A. Christie, ‘Death in the Air’, ch. 13) — Старый грубиян действует с оглядкой, выжидая, как обернется дело.

37 a cat may look at a king
посл."и кошке не возбраняется смотреть на короля"; ≈ и мы не лыком шитыTanner: "...sit down again and be friendly. A cat may look at a king, and even a President of brigands may look at your sister. All this family pride is very old-fashioned." (B. Shaw, ‘Man and Superman’, act III) — Таннер: "...сядьте снова на свое место и будьте полюбезнее. У каждого есть свои права, и даже главарь разбойничьей шайки может смотреть на вашу сестру. Фамильное чванство давно вышло из моды."

There is an old adage that "a cat may look at a king".

Только, очевидно, тут имеется в виду кошка, живущая во дворце и знакомая с придворным этикетом, а отнюдь не какая-нибудь обитательница крыш пролетарской породы...
