A cat scratching can be an annoying thing to endure. The animal might be doing this to itself or worse shredding the furniture. Worst still it may have taken to mauling some poor innocent person.
If it is itching itself then something will be causing the irritation. Most probably it could be a signal that a flea or fleas are present in the animals coat and are feasting on its blood. It is not the bite that tends to cause the itch but the flea saliva which can make the wound take an age to heal.
It may be an environmental thing like a shrub in the garden where to animal plays that causes the irritation. Cats like humans can have weakness to certain plants or pollens. It could be that the cat is hungry or bored and just scratching itself for attention or to disperse nervous energy.
Furniture shredders can often cause immediate reaction for their owners and this can be of some detriment to the animal. They could be swiftly ejected from the room or house where there is always the potential to collide with stationary objects as they fly through the air.
Some people train their cat to use a special carpet covered post to vent their frustrations. Failing this a strong signal needs to be sent to the miscreant which is usually a rapid ejection through an open door to the outside.
With regard to a cat scratching human situation. We have all met that placid feline who loves being stroked rolls over for a tummy tickle and then proceeds to shed the ticklers naked hand with all four paws. All that can be advised for these critters is that they be identified at an early stage and approached with extreme caution. If you don't know the cat and the tickle the tummy maneuver is undertaken then it may be safer to decline the invitation.
