Is there actually any evidence of this, or is it just pseudoscience? Last time I checked, it seems like this was made up by some random cat websites and not actually corroborated by any studies. It's one of those things that sounds believable enough.

There could be a correlation between use and obsessive behaviour but more research is needed.

Another site mentioned it could be good for the confidence and keep them engaged more. I think it's fine in moderation but probably good to let them catch things successfully too.
