Scratch Cat is the mascot of Scratch, a programming platform for kids. According to a Scratch Team member, Scratch Cat is nonbinary. The Scratch Cat trademark belongs to MIT and was drawn by Wing Ngan.
The platform teaches coding to young people and some find the Scratch community insular and toxic, with battles over coding techniques. The name "Scratch" comes from a DJ technique called scratching, where different sound effects are created.
In the platform’s first side-scroller game, Scratch Cat has to avoid spikes. One creepy hallway ends with Scratch Cat’s screaming face and glitchy text, almost like a jumpscare.
- The "Cat Scratch Game" challenges kids at sleepovers to connect with the supernatural.
- The Closet Game is considered more dangerous.
Both can scare kids by making them feel surrounded by negative energy.
In a platformer inspired by Getting Over It, Scratch Cat climbs inside a pot using a hammer. Players must navigate surreal landscapes with realistic, difficult physics.
