I'm guessing the creator(s) of Scratch had a cat that was orange and white, and scratched a lot…

“We take the name ”Scratch,“ from the way that hip-hop disk jockeys scratch with music. They take pieces of music and then combine them together in unexpected and creative ways.” - Mitch Resnick, Scratch Director
This guy (who i have talked to IRL) thought it up.

Cats scratch things, so a cat would be a good choice for the mascot.“We take the name ”Scratch,“ from the way that hip-hop disk jockeys scratch with music.
