This is kind of a small thing I noticed but I am a worrywart parent so... Sorry if this is kind of silly!
Long story short, my sweet cat used to be pretty confident and walks with his tail up. After an unsuccessful second cat matchup (I know intros are hard and long but I really don't think it would have worked once I found out more about personality of 2nd cat) I noticed my boy has become more nervous and just not as confident as before. The 2nd cat isn't here anymore btw.
Now when he walks around he always has his tail down, only goes up when I call him or pet him. He also doesn't fully relax as much as he used to. Thankfully he is slowly returning to his previous favorite spots around the apartment, and is actually more affectionate with us than ever, but I want to do something to boost his mojo. He isn't really food motivated, and has always been a low energy cat so he just watches toys (he's 11 now). He has plenty of tall perches by big windows. I pet him and give him attention but he's also not too clingy so I don't wanna smother him.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
