Could you clarify what you mean by the expression “bell the cat”?

The mice have a solution for the murderous cat: simply put a bell on the cat’s collar and then they will know when it’s coming.

But… who’s going to “bell the cat”? i.e. who is going to perform this unpleasant and possibly fatal job?
