What is the idiomatic meaning for allow the cat to escape from the bag?
You mean "let the cat out of the bag" -- it doesn't work if you don't use those exact words. It means to tell something that was supposed to be a secret. The original term was a literal one -- people would sell what they claimed was a piglet, put into a bag to be easily carried, but instead of a valuable pig that could be eaten, they'd put a cat into a bag instead, and save the piglet to "sell" again. If you "let the cat out of the bag," you exposed the scam to everyone.
