The only things we know about Scratch Cat are that they are the mascot for this website, and that they are basically omnipotent. But what is their backstory? What is their real name? Who are they REALLY? Is there an official answer to this? If so, we need to know who Scratch Cat is! SC is our mascot, why can't they be our friend???

If you have any answers or theories, please feel free to respond.

The mascot idea probably came from the name, “Scratch”.
The name “Scratch” came from-

Scratch wiki wrote:

“Scratch” was used as the title for The Lifelong Kindergarten Group's programming language, as it is to do with “scratching” referring to music.

“ Scratching is a DJ or turntablist technique used to produce distinctive sounds by moving a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable while optionally manipulating the crossfader on a DJ mixer. ”
– Wikipedia

Likewise, within Scratch, you take different bits of code (blocks), put them together, and have made something new.

“ 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.

Their real name is Scratch Cat.

Necroposting is when someone posts on a topic that is rather old and abandoned — in this case, 2 years old.

Bumping is when someone wants to bring their own topic to the front page of the forums (usually by simply writing “bump”), so they can get some more replies. This is usually acceptable when a topic is unanswered or still relevant in some way.

scratch cat is really Garfield's evil brother from another dimension that has free toasters and knuckles.

Replying to a necropost doesn't necessarily make it a necropost.
