This is undoubtedly a reference to the cruel but formerly common practice of getting rid of an unwanted or troublesome cat by placing it in a bag (probably with a rock) in preparation for drowning it. If someone releases the animal, then "the cat is out of the bag" and the perpetrator cannot complete his task. Today, we often use this phrase to indicate that someone has revealed a secret and thus spoiled a surprise.
