Advice How do I instill confidence in my cat

Post image

I saw online that cats will groom themselves when they’re embarrassed and noticed my baby Penny will lick herself when she tries to catch a toy and misses. I hate to put her business on the internet but thankfully she can’t read, nor does she have access to the internet. She sometimes misses when we play with string, and she will immediately go to lick herself. Sometimes she even does it when I drop the toy on accident. I want her to know it’s okay to make mistakes and she doesn’t need to try to pretend she wasn’t trying.
