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.

The Groom of the Stool helped a king with toiletry, excrement, and other messy bodily functions. This was simultaneously one of the most repugnant and sought-after duties in the English royal castle. The Groom of the Stool was well-paid to keep the king's secrets. Although the duties were literally wiping shit off the king, the position was not considered a lowly one. The Groom of the Stool could pass secret messages to and from the king. One word from the Groom of the Stool was enough to change the fortunes of anyone in the royal court. He could act as a gatekeeper to grant access to the king in private.
