Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: گربه بی چشم و روه
گربه بی چشم و روه ( Cat does not have eye and face) is a common Persian saying which is associated with the "decency, wicked" concepts considered as a cat's characteristics.

Can anyone help with a good translation for this idiom? and also I want a detailed explanation of the meaning of this idiom or even its root or etymology.

Thank you
