Rats walk at their ease if cats do not them meese

Rats walk at their ease if cats do not them meese. Wodroephe, 1623. Rogues abound where laws are weak.

Send not a cat for lard. George Herbert. Put not any to temptation.

So as cat is after kind. Near friends are dearest. Birds of a feather flock together.

Take the chestnuts out of the fire with the cat's paw. Making use of others to save oneself.
