    no, I don't think it's true.... well, not for me anyway... and not to that extreme... I have done more than one of the things listed though at different times and with different cats. The cat I have now has never had to have any pills. I've had cats though that were really good about taking pills and some that would have nothing to do with the whole mess!

    I have to give my cat a pill every day, i find the best way is to put it in their mouth, then blow gently in their face, that makes them swallow..most of the time..the other is, after you have wiped away the blood from your scratch, rub their throat up and down real quick but not too hard..and they usually swallow then too.
