(kinda dumb question) Why the name Scratch? And why a cat?
Wikipedia's article on Scratch has a great explanation:
And according to Scratch takes its name from a technique used by disk jockeys called “scratching”, where vinyl records are clipped together and manipulated on a turntable to produce different sound effects and music. Like scratching, the website lets users mix together different media (including graphics, sound, and other programs) in creative ways by creating and ‘remixing’ projects, like video games, animations, and simulations.this project by mres, the mascot is a cat because the word “Scratch” is (mostly) associated with cats.
