I call foul, respectfully. That is an old wive's tale. Old wive's tales are also why I am not married. Does a guard dog have to be crazy vicious and difficult to handle to be effective? Of course not. I can handle all my cats and they take mice and huge rats down often. My cow dogs are all nice and safe to be around but can be holy hell on a bad cow and don't yell or hit me or they will be hard on you.
I shoe and run into horse trainers who think the horse needs to be half crazy to run fast or work hard. Again, non-sense. They will say that cowboy horses were that way in the days of the open range. Looking at old pictures of cowboys stepping off horses to handle cattle and calves and cowboys holding horses in a remuda with a rope, there is no way they were that bad. A half wild horse would drag a calf to death (yes, it sometimes happened, even with a good horse) and holding horses back with a rope is a good way to injure a hand or lose a finger or worse. I know. I have seen people dragged and a finger pulled off. If you can hold horses back with a rope, they are pretty darn good.
A sweet cat can be holy heck on vermin; we have some. However, I think it is helpful not to over feed cats if you want them to mouse.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
