Fake Grooming Edit Meaning

1.

This what a cat does during the act of hunting to make its prey think it is no longer interested. The cat stops, looks away, and starts to lick its paw as if nothing ever happened.

As the cat began to sneak up on the bird, the cat stopped when it noticed that the bird saw it coming. The cat began fake grooming so as to appear disinterested in the bird. It works every time.
